Answer:

1. NaCl .

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, it is necessary to keep in mind that just ionic compounds are able to conduct electricity and therefore, the more ionic the compound is, the more electricity it conducts. In such a way, we may be able to predict how ionic these compounds are, considering that the electronegativity increases from bottom to top and from left to right.

1. NaCl: this is the most ionic compound since it is at the leftmost group and bonded with chlorine, so this is the most conductive one.

2. Mg(CIO3)2: Mg is bonded to O, not to Cl, which makes the compound ionic but not as ionic as NaCl.

3. NiCl: Ni is more electronegative than Na and Mg, so even when this is ionic, it is not as ionic as NaCl.

4. CaCl2: This is similar to NaCl but since Ca is in group 2A, it is more electronegative than Na, which makes CaCl2 conductive but not as much as NaCl.

Best regards!

If the mass of a material is 118 grams and the volume of the material is 12 cm3, what would the density of the material be?

Sliva [168]

Density is equal to mass divided by volume.

So D=118/12

D=9.83

how do i word a formal letter to a teacher saying i didn't pay attention during the science lessons and i now have no idea what

Allushta [10]

Explanation:

Hello mr/mrs (name) I unfortunately couldn't pay attention to the class due to some issues I had therefore I don't know what we are doing in class

Hello mr/mrs (name) I could understand what we were doing in class I would like it if you could break it down more or explain better to me

OR just say something it had something to do with your internet such as

Hello mr/mrs (name) I didn't understand what you were saying during our class due to some of my internet issues I was have throughout the day. I hope you can explain what we did during the class.

Those may be some of my excuses I've used before

they have worked for me:)

I don't know if that helped?:/

49 After decaying for 48 hours, l/16 of the original mass of a radioisotope sample remains unchanged. What is the half-life of t

hodyreva [135]

1/16 left would imply 4 half lives have passed (1/2 left = 1, 1/4 left = 2, 1/8 left = 3, 1/16 left = 4). So 4 half lives passed in 48 hours, meaning dividing 48 by 4 will give you the length of 1 half life. Which in this case is 12 hours.

List a possible set of four quantum numbers (n,l,ml,ms) in order, for the highest energy electron in gallium?

Elena-2011 [213]

Gallum: Z = 31

electron configuration: [Ar] 4s^2 3d10 4s2 4p1

Highest energy electron: 4p1

Quantum numbers:

n = 4, because it is the shell number
l = 1, it corresponds to type p orbital
ml = may be -1, or 0, or +1, depending on space orientation, they correspond to px, py, pz
ms = may be -1/2 or +1/2, this is the spin number.
