Why are metals conductive?

Chemistry
1 answer:
aliya0001 [1]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

High density, metallic bonds

Explanation:

We may look at this question from the structural properties of the metals:

  • metals in their solid states are the most dense phases of all the standard phases we know (solids, liquids and gases). This means the particles within a metal lattice are very closely packed. Both heat and electricity is conducted when particles interact and touch one another, so that either energy or electric current might travel from one particle to the other easily. High density means low distances between the atoms, so they can interact easily;
  • the main reason, however, is the fact that metals form metallic bonds, also known as 'sea of electrons'. We have metal cations floating in a sea of their valence electrons. This forms a medium in which both heat and electricity can travel easily.

There are two beakers that contain the same liquid substance at the same temperature. The larger beaker is 1,000ml and the small
azamat

Answer:

Answer choice B

Explanation:

Since you do not know the volume of the liquid in each beaker, the one in the smaller beaker could have more substance and therefore more thermal energy. If they had the same amount of substance, then the more voluminous one would radiate faster. However, since you do not know this, there is no way to tell. PM me if you have more questions. Hope this helps!

when 45 grams of copper (ii) carbonate are decomposed with heat how many grams of carbon dioxide will be produced
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

16.02 g

Explanation:

the balanced equation for the decomposition of CuCO₃ is as follows

CuCO₃ --> CuO + CO₂

molar ratio of CuCO₃ to CO₂ is 1:1

number of CuCO₃ moles decomposed - 45 g / 123.5 g/mol = 0.364 mol

according to the molar ratio

1 mol of CuCO₃ decomposes to form 1 mol of CO₂

therefore 0.364 mol of  CuCO₃ decomposes to form 0.364 mol of CO₂

number of CO₂ moles produced - 0.364 mol

therefore mass of CO₂ produced - 0.364 mol x 44 g/mol = 16.02 g

16.02 g of CO₂ produced

A fan blade rotates with angular velocity given by ωz(t)= γ − β t2, where γ = 5.20 rad/s and β = 0.810 rad/s3 . calculate the an
Gnesinka [82]

Answer : The angular acceleration is \alpha=-\beta t=-0.810\text{ t}

Solution : Given,

\gamma=5.20rad/s

\beta=0.810rad/s^3

The given angular velocity equation is,

\omega_z(t)=\gamma-\beta t^2

At t = 0,    \omega_z(0)=\gamma

At t = t,      \omega_z(t)=\gamma-\beta t^2

Angular acceleration : It is defined as the rate of change of angular velocity with respect to time.

Formula used for angular acceleration :

\alpha=\frac{\omega_z(t)-\omega_z(0)}{t}

where,

\alpha = angular acceleration

\omega_z(t) = angular velocity at time 't'

\omega_z(0) = angular velocity at time '0'

t = time

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get the angular acceleration.

\alpha=\frac{(\gamma)-(\gamma-\beta t^2)}{t}

\alpha=-\beta t=-0.810\text{ t}

Therefore, the angular acceleration is \alpha=-\beta t=-0.810\text{ t}
