The molecular structure of the solids has lower ability to conduct electricity due to tight holding by nucleus.
<h3>Why molecular solids are poor conductors?</h3>
Molecular solids are also poor conductors of electricity because their valence electrons are tightly held by the nuclear charges present in the nucleus while on the other hand, Metals are good electrical conductors in the solid form due to the presence of free electrons that helps in the conduction of electricity.

That's because <span>the specific heat capacity of water is higher than specific heat capacity of iron, meaning that the water would need to lose more heat energy to drop its temperature.</span>
Fe3N2, also known as Iron (II) nitride, is an ionic compound.
Ionic compounds are compounds that consists of metals and non-metals bonded with ionic bonds. The metal ion gives up electron(s) to the non-metals.
Since iron is a metal and nitrogen is an non-metal, the bond they would form would be an ionic bond. Iron gives up 2 electrons to form iron(II) ion, while nitrogen gains 3 electrons to form nitride ion. Since one iron cannot let a nitrogen gain 3 electrons, so in the compound, there would be 3 iron (ii) ions that has given up 6 electrons in total while 2 nitride ions have gained 6 electrons in total.
Magnesium silicate is a compound of magnesium oxide and silicon. It is the magnesium salt of silicic acid containing an unspecified amount of water. The molecular formula can be expressed more clearly as MgSiO3.
<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>
Concave Lenses
<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
- A concave lens is thin in the middle and thick at the edges, such that it seems to cave inwards. It spreads light rays apart producing an image smaller than the actual object.
- <em><u>Images formed by a concave lens are virtual, upright, reduced in size and located on the same side of the lens as the object. Diverging lenses or concave lens always produce images that share these characteristics. The location of the object does not affect the characteristics of the image. </u></em>
