CaCl2 is a good conductor of electricity when dissolved in water.
Elanso [62]2 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.

How can you which molecule is positive and negative in a dipole-dipole relationship?
marysya [2.9K]
Dipole interactions are observed in covalent bonds. In ionic bonding, permanent transfer of electrons occurs and due to this dipole-dipole interactions are not observed. In covalent bonding, electron cloud is shared between 2 atoms. If this electron cloud is not shared equally between them, polarities are formed in a molecule. And hence we say that the molecule is polar. For a molecule to be polar, there should be electronegativity difference between them. Atom with greater electronegative attracts electron cloud more towards itself whereas atom with lesser electronegative attracts electron cloud less. But there is no permanent transfer of electrons. Due to this electronegativity differences, atom with more electronegative gains partial negative charge and atom with lesser electronegative value gains partial positive charge. The charge is partial because there is no complete transfer of electrons.

The radioactive atom R 88 210 a is an alpha emitter. What nucleus does it produce?
olasank [31]

Answer:

X 86 206

Explanation:

Radioactive atoms are nuclei that can under go disintegration to emit either an alpha particle, beta particle or gamma radiation. The process could be spontaneous or stimulated.

When a radioactive atom R 88 210 emits alpha particle, it would produce an element with atomic number 86 and mass number 206 i.e X 86 206. An alpha particle is usually a helium nucleus.

                     R^{210} ⇒ x^{206} + He^{4} + energy

Matter has mass and takes up ______________. The amount of space that matter takes up is called volume. Every solid, liquid, and
olga nikolaevna [1]

Matter has mass and takes up space, which is called volume based on the amount occupied.

<h3>What is matter?</h3>

Matter is the basic structural component of the universe that usually has mass and volume (space).

Matter is everything around us and in our immediate environment that has mass measured in kilograms and occupies space or volume measured in litres or milliliters.

Examples of matter are:

  • Carbon
  • Metals
  • Biotic or living organisms e.g. trees

According to this question, every state of matter such as solid, liquid, and gas has volume, but each state of matter appears a bit differently.
