Explain why thermal and electrical conductivity is so high with copper

Chemistry
1 answer:
lidiya [134]2 years ago
8 0

Copper is formed of copper atoms, which are closely clustered together. If observed closely, one could witness the movement of electrons between the atoms of the copper. Each copper atom turns into a positive ion by losing one electron. Thus, copper is a lattice of positive copper ions with the movement of free electrons among them.  

Due to movement of electrons freely through the metal, they are also known as conduction electrons. The presence of these conduction electrons makes the copper a good conductor of electricity and heat.

Which ONE of the following is an oxidation–reduction reaction? A) PbCO3(s) + 2 HNO3(aq) ––––> Pb(NO3)2(aq) + CO2(g) + H2O(l)
sveta [45]

Answer:

E) C₂H₄(g) + H₂(g) ⇒ C₂H₆(g)

Explanation:

Which ONE of the following is an oxidation–reduction reaction?

A) PbCO₃(s) + 2 HNO₃(aq) ⇒ Pb(NO₃)₂(aq) + CO₂(g) + H₂O(l). NO. All the elements keep the same oxidation numbers.

B) Na₂O(s) + H₂O(l) ⇒ 2 NaOH(aq). NO. All the elements keep the same oxidation numbers.

C) SO₃(g) + H₂O(l) ⇒ H₂SO₄(aq). NO. All the elements keep the same oxidation numbers.

D) CO₂(g) + H₂O(l) ⇒ H₂CO₃(aq). NO. All the elements keep the same oxidation numbers.

E) C₂H₄(g) + H₂(g) ⇒ C₂H₆(g). YES. <u>C is reduced</u> and <u>H is oxidized</u>.

How many bonds would be needed when bonding 2 atoms of nitrogen to achieve a full octet for both atoms?
andriy [413]

Answer:

3 bonds are needed.

Explanation:

The electrons that are involved in chemical bonding are those in the outer shell of the highest energy level of the atom. The electron configuration of nitrogen (N) is 1s²2s²2p³. That means thy at each nitrogen atom has 5 valence electrons: 2 electrons in the 2s orbital and 3 electrons in the 2p orbital. To fullfil the octet, each nitrogen atom needs 3 electrons. So, they can share each other 3 electrons to form 3 simple bonds. Therefore, the nitrogen molecule (N₂) has 3 bonds involving 6 bonding electrons or a triple bond.
