Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Metals are the substances which have more number of electrons. It is due to the presence of valence electrons that metals are able to conduct electricity.

Iodine ans silicon being non-metals do not conduct electricity.

Whereas neon being a noble gas have completely filled shells. Therefore, it does not conduct electricity unless and until it is ionized.

On the other hand, lead being a metals is able to conduct electricity.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options lead is most likely to be the best conductor of electricity.

The image shows particles of salt dissolved in water.
user100 [1]

Answer: Hope it may help you

Explanation:

Diffusion can be defined as the movement of particles from a region where there a more concentration of solute to the region having less concentration of the solute.

Here, the salt particles will move from right side of the box to the left side of the box.

This is because the right side has more particle and the left side has less particles so they will move towards the left side.

Octane C8H18 is an ingredient in gasoline. How many carbon atoms are in 20 kg of octane? help please
eduard

Answer:

Octane is a hydrocarbon and an alkane with the chemical formula C 8 H 18, and the condensed structural formula CH 3 (CH 2) 6 CH 3.Octane has many structural isomers that differ by the amount and location of branching in the carbon chain. One of these isomers, 2,2,4-trimethylpentane (commonly called iso-octane) is used as one of the standard values in the octane rating scale.

Chemical formula: C₈H₁₈

Molar mass: 114.232 g·mol−1

Melting point: −57.1 to −56.6 °C; −70.9 to −69.8 °F; 216.0 to 216.6 K

Solubility in water: 0.007 mg dm−3 (at 20 °C)

How to write a balanced nuclear equation on how uranium can disintegrate to Actium​
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

Balancing Nuclear Equations

To balance a nuclear equation, the mass number and atomic numbers of all particles on either side of the arrow must be equal.

Explanation:

follows:

6

3

Li

+

2

1

H

→

4

2

He

+

?

To balance the equation above for mass, charge, and mass number, the second nucleus on the right side must have atomic number 2 and mass number 4; it is therefore also helium-4. The complete equation therefore reads:

6

3

Li

+

2

1

H

→

4

2

He

+

4

2

He

Or, more simply:

6

3

Li

+

2

1

H

→

2

4

2

He
