For an object to conduct electricity it should have free or delocalised electrons that are free to pass the charge and hence take part in conducting electricity.
From the given choices
Chlorine is a halogen existing as a diatomic gas. Iodine too is a halogen and 2 Iodine atoms held together by covalent bond. Cl - Cl bonds and I-I bonds are covalent bonds. the outer electrons of Cl and I take part in covalent bonds therefore they are fixed and not free to move about. therefore no free electrons to conduct electricity.
Sulfur is a solid that too is held together by covalent bonds so it does not have free electrons to conduct electricity.

Silver is a metal and a general property of metals are their ability to conduct electricity.
metal structure are metal ions tightly packed together. when the metal atoms are tightly packed their valence electrons are removed and delocalised. Positively charged metal ions are embedded in a sea of delocalised electrons.
therefore there are delocalised electrons that can conduct electricity

answer is 3) silver

It would be Silver because it is metal.

A certain reaction with an activation energy of 205 kj/mol was run at 485 k and again at 505 k . what is the ratio of f at the h

lapo4ka [179]

Arrhenius' Law relates activation energy, Ea, rate constant, K, and temperature, T as per this equation:

K (T) = A * e ^ (-Ea / RT), where R is the universal constant of gases and A is a constant which accounts for collision frequency..

Then you can find the ration between K's at two different temperatures as:

K1 = A * e ^ (-Ea / RT1)

K2 = A* e ^(-Ea / RT2)

=> K1 / K2 = e ^ { (-Ea / RT1) - Ea / RT2) }

=> K1 / K2 = e ^ {(-Ea/ R ) *( 1 / T1 - 1 T2) }

=> K1 / K2 = e^ { (-205,000 j/mol / 8.314 j/mol*k )* ( 1 / 505K - 1/ 485K) }

=> K1 / K2 = e ^ (2.0134494) ≈ 7.5

Answer: 7.5

Metallic compounds are malleable. Which use of metallic bonds best represents this trait?

dem82 [27]

<u><em>In metallic bonding, the valence electrons are free to move throughout the metal structure. Metallic bonding is the electrostatic attraction between the metal atoms or ions and the delocalized electrons. This is why atoms or layers are allowed to slide past each other, resulting in the characteristic properties of malleability and ductility.</em></u>

Genetic information is encoded in a molecule called DNA?

grandymaker [24]

True

Explanation:

The DNA is the structure in living organisms that encodes genetic information.

DNA = DeoxyriboNucleic Acid.

The DNA is made up of a double helix structure of two strands.
It is made up of a phosphate group,deoxyribose sugar and four nitrogenous bases.
The DNA is contained in the nucleus of every cell.
Crick and Watson suggested the molecular structure of the DNA to be a double helix shape.

Which statement about the reaction is correct?

Goshia [24]

The reactions based on the absorption and release of the energy are called endothermic and exothermic reactions. The reaction is exothermic.

<h3>What is an exothermic reaction?</h3>

Exothermic reactions are the reaction in which the reactant produces products that release energy from the system to the surroundings. In the reaction bond energy of the reactant is less than the product.

Energy from the system is released in the form of heat, sound, light and electricity. The weak bonds of the compounds are replaced with stronger ones and the standard enthalpy of the reaction is negative.

Therefore, option c. reaction is exothermic is correct.
