Explain why solid sodium chloride does not conduct electricity

Chemistry
1 answer:
aleksandr82 [10.1K]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

It does not contain free mobile ions

Explanation:

Solid sodium chloride does not conduct electricity because it does not contain free mobile ions.

  • Although sodium chloride is an ionic compound, in solid state, there is absence of free mobile ions.
  • In aqueous solutions or in molten form, ionic compounds can conduct an electric current using free mobile ions as carriers.
  • Therefore, they are electrolytes.

In solid state ions are arranged into crystal lattice and will not conduct a current of electricity.

What is the shortest half life
N76 [4]

Answer:

Hey!

Your answer is element A

Explanation:

Using the graph, the element A's emission of radioactive particles ends approximately after 6 years...

A HALF-LIFE IS "HALF" OF THAT TIME PERIOD!

So if the radiation goes for 6 years the half-life is 6 divided by two which gives you 3 years!

The rest however have a longer half-life...

Because they all end at 14 yrs so their half-life in 7 years!

HOPE THIS HELPS!!

A metal ion Mⁿ⁺ has a single electron. The highest energy line in its emission spectrum occurs at a frequency of 2.961 x 10¹⁶ Hz
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

z≅3

Atomic number is 3, So ion is Lithium ion (Li^+)

Explanation:

First of all

v=f*λ

In our case v=c

c=f*λ

λ=c/f

where:

c is the speed of light

f is the frequency

\lambda=\frac{3*10^8}{2.961*10^{16}}\\ \lambda=1.01317*10^{-8} m

Using Rydberg's Formula:

\frac{1}{\lambda}=R*z^2*(\frac{1}{n_1^2}-\frac{1}{n_2^2})

Where:

R is Rydberg constant=1.097*10^7

z is atomic Number

For highest Energy:

n_1=1

n_2=∞

\frac{1}{1.01317*10^{-8}}=1.097*10^{7}*z^2*(\frac{1}{1^2}-\frac{1}{\inf})\\z^2=8.99\\z=2.99

z≅3

Atomic number is 3, So ion is Lithium ion (Li^+)

Why is it important to assume that the rate of radioactive decay has remained constant over time?
alexira [117]
It remains constant because it is an element. Just like Chernobyl, there is still active radiation. Radiation is something that stays in the air for a verrrry long time. <span>Radioactivity kill cells, so lets say you have your phone on but its in your pocket.the radiation from the phone is killing your cells.</span>
