CaCl2 is a good conductor of electricity when dissolved in water.
Elanso [62]3 years ago

Answer:

CaCl_2

Explanation:

We have to keep in mind that a <u>good conductor</u> would be a substance that has the ability to produce <u>ions</u> (<u>charged species</u>). These species are responsible for the electricity conduction on water.

Therefore, we have to check which ones of these compounds will produce <u>ions in water</u>. For N_2 and O_2 we have <u>diatomic</u> molecules (also gases) this type of molecules don't have the ability to produce ions due to his simplicity, they already are <u>very stable</u>.

In the sugar molecule C_6H_12O_6 we have a <u>covalent compound</u>. The ions are produced by <u>ionic compounds</u>. So, this molecule can be discarded too.

For CaCl_2 we have an ionic compound that have the ability to produce ions:

CaCl_2~~->~~Ca^+^2~+~2Cl^-

So, this is the compound that would be a good conductor due to the Ca^+^2 and the Cl^- ions.

Why are the transition metals able to show different properties like varying color and paramagnetism ?
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

Colors of transition metal compounds are due to two types of electronic transitions. Due to the presence of unpaired d electrons, transition metals can form paramagnetic compounds. Transition metals are conductors of electricity, possess high density and high melting and boiling points.

to show the electron configuration for an atom, when would it be better to use an orbital notation than to use a written configu
sineoko [7]

The aim is to use less space while demonstrating the distribution of electrons in shells

If you want to depict how an atom's electrons are scattered across its subshells, an orbital notation is more suited.

This is due to the fact that some atoms have unique electronic configurations that are not readily apparent from textual configurations.

<h3>How does electron configuration work?</h3>

The placement of electrons in orbitals surrounding an atomic nucleus is known as electronic configuration, also known as electronic structure or electron configuration.

<h3>What sort of electron arrangement would that look like?</h3>
  • For instance: You can see that oxygen contains 8 electrons on the periodic table.
  • These 8 electrons would fill in the following order: 1s, 2s, and finally 2p, according to the aforementioned fill order. O 1s22s22p4 would be oxygen's electron configuration.
