Explain how ionic compounds are able to conduct electricity when they are molten but not a solid

Chemistry
1 answer:
crimeas [40]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Explanation:

because when in molten form ions are Mobil (free) to move and can carry a charge however when in solid  ions are fixed in position so they can't move and carry a charge.

Why doesn’t neon readily form an ionic bond?
Goryan [66]

By definition of noble gases, neon does not easily form an ionic bond because it belongs to the group of noble or inert gases, so its reactivity is practically nil.

<h3>Noble gases</h3>

Noble gases are not very reactive, that is, they practically do not form chemical compounds. This means that they do not react with other substances, nor do they even react between atoms of the same gas, as is the case with diatomic gases such as oxygen (O₂).

The chemical stability of the noble gases and therefore the absence of spontaneous evolution towards any other chemical form, implies that they are already in a state of maximum stability.

All chemical transformations involve valence electrons, they are involved in the process of covalent bond formation and the formation of ions. Therefore, the practically null reactivity of the noble gases is due to the fact that they have a complete valence shell, which gives them a low tendency to capture or release electrons.

Since the noble gases do not react with the other elements, they are also called inert gases.

<h3>Neon</h3>

Neon does not easily form an ionic bond because it belongs to the group of noble or inert gases, so its reactivity is practically nil.

<h3> The supplements that are minerals are</h3>
  1. calcium
  2. sodium
  3. iron
  4. zinc

<u><em> Explanation</em></u>

  • calcium   and sodium  are major  minerals   which are required  by the body for

      calcium-  needed  for muscle,hearing bone and  for the support of synthesis and function of cells

     sodium-   is needed to control blood  pressure  and  also for proper  muscle and nerve  function

  • Zinc  and iron are  required   in trace and both are needed for good health

Can someone please help me
Mrrafil [7]
I think the answer would be A because O is oxygen and it has 7. Although it’s in parentheses and has a 2 on the outside of those parentheses, so you would multiply and 7 x 2 = 14. 14 is larger than the other ones.
Hopefully I’m right and hopefully that helps.

In comparison with liquids and gases, solids are
Citrus2011 [14]
In comparison with liquids and gases, solids are more dense. The answer is letter B. <span>The solid has a more definite shape and volume. The particles are locked into place. It cannot be further compressed due to the bond that exists between the molecules. The kinetic energy of the molecules is close to none because the molecules are so close and so compact with each other. </span>
