Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A metal which has the largest size and the most valence electrons would have the highest conductivity because the larger is the size of a metal the more freely electrons can move in it. Hence, the metal can conduct electricity.

If the atom is smaller in size then the electrons will be tightly held around the nucleus and hence they won't be able to move freely. Therefore, they will not conduct electricity.

Thus, we can conclude that the atom with the largest radius and the most valence electrons would have the highest conductivity.

3) What is the mass of a sample consisting of 1.00 X 1022 formula units of MgSO.?(

Montano1993 [528]

number of moles = 1.00 X 10^22 ÷ 6.022 × 10^23

= 0.0166 moles

mass = number of moles × molar mass

= 0.0166 × 120.37 = 2.00 g

Does a animal cell have a cell wall and chloroplasts

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

Animal cells have centrosomes (or a pair of centrioles), and lysosomes, whereas plant cells do not. Plant cells have a cell wall, chloroplasts, plasmodesmata, and plastids used for storage, and a large central vacuole, whereas animal cells do not.
