“Water” is the best thermal insulator.
Option: B
<u>Explanation</u>:
“Thermal insulators” are the materials which do not allow heat to transfer. “Water” is the substance which does not transfer heat. Hence, the “water” is the best “thermal insulator”. Water is the bad conductor of thermal heat. Water has “low thermal conductivity” than other substances, so this acts as an insulator as long as it is not traveled from one place to another. Heat is transferred when a “hot object collides” with “the cold objects”. The “thermal conductivity” of “water” is 0.6 W/m K.

Acetylene has a chemical formula which can be written as:
C2H2
We can see that there are two positive ions, H+. Now what
deprotonation means is that the H+ is removed from acetylene to form acetylene
ion and water. In this case, I believe that the answer would be:

Ionic bonds are formed when there is complete transfer of valence electrons between two atoms.
Electronegativity tells the trend of an atom to atract electrons.
You should search for the complete set of rules that indicate whether an ionic or covalent bond happens.
There are two relevant rules to state if whether an ionic bond will happen:
- When the difference of electronegativities between the two atoms is greater than 2.0, then the bond is ionic.
- When the difference is between 1.6 and 2.0, the bond is ionic if one of the elements is a metal.
You need to list the electronegativities of the five elements (there are tables with this information)
Element electronegativity
Cu: 1.9
H: 2.2
Cl 3.16
I: 2.66
S: 2.58
Differences:
Cu / S: 2.58 - 1.9 = 0.68
H / S: 2.58 - 2.2 = 0.38
Cl / S: 3.16 - 2.58 =0.58
I / S: 2.66 - 2.58 = 0.08
Those differences are too low to consider that the bond is ionic.
Then the answer is that none of those atoms forms an ionic bond with sulfur.
