  • An ionic compound will not conduct electricity as a solid.
  • It will conduct electricity when melted.
  • Some ionic compounds are soluble. Their solutions in water also conduct electricity.
<h3>Explanation</h3>

A substance should contain charged particles that are free to move around in order to conduct electricity.

Ionic compounds contain an ocean of ions. They carry either positive or negative charges. Attractions between them hold them in a rigid lattice under the solid state. Those ions are unable to move. The ionic compound can't conduct electricity.

Melting the ionic compound will break the lattice. Those ions are now free to move to conduct electricity. Dissolving the compound in water will also free the ions. As a result, those solutions will also conduct electricity.

Conductivity under different states distinguishes between ionic compounds, molecular compounds, and metals.

  • Ionic compounds conduct electricity when melted but not as a solid.
  • Molecular compounds have no charged particles. They do not conduct electricity even when melted.
  • Valence electrons in metals are free to move both when the metal is a solid and when it is melted. Metals conduct electricity under both solid and liquid states.

A 50.5 L flask contains 3.25 mol of an unknown gas at 288.6 K, what is the pressure of<br> this gas?
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

1.52atm is the pressure of the gas

Explanation:

To solve this question we must use the general gas law:

PV = nRT

<em>Where P is pressure in atm = Our incognite</em>

<em>V is volume = 50.5L</em>

<em>n are moles of gas = 3.25moles</em>

<em>R is gas constat = 0.082atmL/molK</em>

<em>And T is absolute temperature = 288.6K</em>

To solve pressure:

P = nRT / V

P = 3.25mol*0.082atmL/molK*288.6K / 50.5L

P = 1.52atm is the pressure of the gas

Alchemists were medieval scholars and philosophers who were the forerunners of modern-day chemists. many tried repeatedly to tra
AlladinOne [14]

Answer is: because they were using simple chemical reactions to transform elements, but that is possible only with nuclear reactions, which in that time were not possible to conduct.

Nuclear reactions can produce new elements, because number of protons and neutrons is changed, lead and gold have different atomic and mass numbers.

The electrons of an atom participates in a chemical reaction, chemical reactions involve the rearrangement of electrons, because there is transfer, loss, gain and sharing of electrons in chemical reactions, new elements are not formed.
