Why are ionic solids poor conductors of electricity? The lattice is brittle. The ions are neutral. The ions are of equal but opp
sveta [45]

The ions are in fixed positions.

Explanation:

Ionic solids are poor conductors of electricity because their ions are fixed in position. Their ions are not free to move about. They are fixed in crystal lattices.

  • For the conduction of electricity, compounds must possess free mobile electrons and moving ions in solution.
  • Ionic compounds are formed by the electrostatic attraction between a metallic and non-metallic ion.
  • They actually contain ions but their ions are locked up.
  • They are not free to move about.
  • Electrical conduction involves ion mobility.
  • In molten and aqueous forms, they are able to conduct electricity because their ions are then mobile.

A car starts from rest and accelerates to 14 m/s in 2 seconds. What was its acceleration
Romashka [77]

Answer:

7m/s^2

Explanation:

using v=u+at

since the car started from rest, u=0 , v=14m/s t=2s

a =acceleration.

14=0+a×2

14=0+2a

14=2a

a= 14/2 =7

a=7m/s^2

When a wave strikes a solid barrier it behaves like a basketball hitting a backboard this wave behavior years called?
Mama L [17]
This behavior is called reflection.
Reflection is a change of in direction of the wave when it reaches another medium. Imagine a wave colliding with a glass in a tank of water.
During reflection, some of the initial energy of the wave is lost.
Waves always reflect with at same angle at which it approached the obstacle.
