What makes an atom a good conductor?

Chemistry
1 answer:
andrew-mc [135]3 years ago
3 0
Very little electric force is required to cause electron flow in conductors. This is due to electrons called "free electrons", which exist in the atoms of conductors. "Free electrons" are electrons that are very weakly bonded to the atom. ... Metals such as copper, silver, and gold are good conductors.

Well, atoms are loosely bound and free to move through the material. Almost all, or just most, atoms will hold on to electrons very tightly and are insulators.

Balanced nuclear equation, what two things must be conserved
In-s [12.5K]
If you only want to balance nuclear reactions, then you should know that number of nucleons are conserved before and after nuclear reaction. Also, charge is conserved as well.
Other things which are conserved in a nuclear reaction are:
Conservation of:
1. Parity
2. Spin
3. angular momentum(vector sum of intrinsic spin and orbital angular momentum)
4. linear momentum
5. Isotopic spin

AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

Here's what I get  

Explanation:

1. Names

I.   CH₃-CH₂-COOH              = 49. propanoic acid

II.  CH₃-CH₂-OH                    = 46. ethanol

III. CH₃-COO-CH₂-CH₂-CH₃ = 47. propyl ethanoate

IV. H-O-CH₂-CH₂-CH₃         = 48. propan-1-ol

V.  H-COO-CH₃                    = 51. methyl methanoate

VI. CH₃-COOH                      = 50. ethanoic acid

2. Precursors

52. methyl propionate  ⇒ methanol + propanoic acid

53.   ethyl methanoate ⇒    ethanol + methanoic acid

America is the world’s number one producer of natural gas derived from shale oil. true false
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Correct option:

The statement "America is the world’s number one producer of natural gas derived from shale oil" is True.

Shale gas:

  • Shale, a form of sedimentary rock, is used to make shale gas, which is natural gas.
  • Over the past ten years, shale gas has gained importance as a natural gas source in the United States. Interest has also grown in possible shale gas reserves in Canada, Europe, Asia, and Australia.
  • With large production in the US and Canada, North America is the region that produces the most shale gas globally. Only Argentina and China have so far produced shale gas on a commercial basis outside of the US and Canada.
  • The environmental dangers associated with shale gas production like, Induced seismicity from hydraulic fracturing has been known to cause earthquakes in three different places across the world and leaks of extraction waste and chemicals into water systems, the release of greenhouse gases during extraction, and the pollution brought on by the poor processing of natural gas have led to its suspension in numerous nations.
