Why sodium chloride is a poor conductor of electricity in solid state?​

Chemistry
1 answer:
aev [14]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Because the electrons in this ionic compound arent free to move and so cannot carry charge. For an iconic compound to conduct electricity it must be a liquid, either in a molten form or dissolved in water.

Explanation:

Is this clear?

Rank the ions in each set in order of decreasing size, and explain your ranking:
Valentin [98]

Answer:

a) Se²⁻> S²⁻ > O²

b) Te²⁻ > I- >Cs+

c)  Cs+ > Ba²⁺ > Sr²⁺

Explanation:

(a) Se²⁻, S²⁻, O²⁻

In general, ionic radius decreases with increasing positive charge.

As the charge on the ion becomes more positive, there are fewer electrons.

The ion has a smaller radius. In general, ionic radius increases with increasing negative charge.

For ions of the same charge (e.g. in the same group) the size increases as we go down a group in the periodic table

Se²⁻> S²⁻ > O²

(b) Te²⁻, Cs⁺, I⁻

Te²⁻ > I- >Cs+

Te2- hast the biggest size, because of the double negative charge.

Cs+ has the smallest size since it has the most positive charge, compared to Te2- and I-.

(c) Sr²⁺, Ba²⁺, Cs⁺

Cs+ > Ba²⁺ > Sr²⁺

Cs+ has the biggest size, because its more downward (compared to Sr2+) and more to the left (compared) ot Ba2+.

Sr2+ has the smallest size because it's more upwords (compared to Cs+ and Ba2+)

The reaction of a metal with oxygen to form rust is called
azamat

The reaction of a metal with oxygen to form rust is called as redox reaction.

Explanation:

The process during which the surface of metal reacts with the oxygen ions present in air, it has tendency to get oxidized that is formation of an oxide layer on the surface of the metal. Generally, it occurs when metals like iron comes in contact with moisture or water. So the oxygen in moisture reacts with iron giving its electron and getting oxidized and reducing the surface of metal by forming metal oxide. So the complete process of formation of rust is termed as redox reaction. As here both oxidation and reduction is taking place.
