Answer: Ionic substances would be good conductors since they dissolve in water and form ions.

Explanation:

Conductors can be defined as those materials which can allow the electricity to flow through them. The conductors also allow the transmission of heat and light from one to another source. They conduct electricity by allowing the electrons to flow through them easily.

The ionic substances can be good conductors because these can be dissolved in water and they will produce ions. The positively-charged ions will be attracted towards the negative electrode whereas the negatively charged ions to the positive electrode.

Describe the rules used for writing the outer configuration for the s-block, p-block, and d-block elements?

Lorico [155]

<u>Rules to write the electronic configuration :</u>

Electrons complete orbitals in a way to reduce the energy of the atom. Therefore, the electrons in an atom complete the principal energy levels in order of rising energy (the electrons are getting distant from the nucleus). The order of levels filled appearances like the following

1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, 3d, 4p, 5s, 4d, 5p, 6s, 4f, 5d, 6p, 7s, 5f, 6d, and 7p

One way to recognise this pattern, apparently the simplest, is to refer to the periodic table and remember where each orbital block drops to rationally understand this pattern. Different way is to make a table like the one below and use vertical lines to determine which subshells resemble with each other.

S block: The S obstruct in the periodic table of components known as gatherings 1 and 2. There is a limit of two electrons that can possess the s orbital.
