Why can pure metals conduct electricity?

Chemistry

Answer:

The structure and bonding of metals explains their properties:

They are electrical conductors because their delocalised electrons carry electrical charge through the metal.

They are good conductors of thermal energy because their delocalised electrons transfer energy.

They have high melting points and boiling points, because the metallic bonding in the giant structure of a metal is very strong - large amounts of energy are needed to overcome the metallic bonds in melting and boiling.

They are malleable, which means they can be bent and shaped easily. In pure metals, the atoms are arranged in neat layers, and when a force is applied to the metal (eg by being hit with a hammer), the layers of metal atoms can slide over each other, giving the metal a new shape.

Who was the first to propose the idea of atoms?
VMariaS [17]

Answer::Democritus

Explanation

The idea that all matter is made up of tiny, indivisible particles, or atoms, is believed to have originated with the Greek philosopher Leucippus of Miletus and his student Democritus of Abdera in the 5th century B.C. (The word atom comes from the Greek word atomos, which means “indivisible.”) These thinkers held that,

A chemist dissolves of pure hydroiodic acid in enough water to make up of solution. Calculate the pH of the solution. Be sure yo
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

1.76

Explanation:

There is some info missing. I think this is the original question.

<em>A chemist dissolves 660.mg of pure hydroiodic acid in enough water to make up 300.mL of solution. Calculate the pH of the solution. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.</em>

<em />

Step 1: Calculate the molarity of HI(aq)

M = mass of solute / molar mass of solute × liters of solution

M = 0.660 g / 127.91 g/mol × 0.300 L

M = 0.0172 M

Step 2: Write the acid dissociation reaction

HI(aq) ⇄ H⁺(aq) + I⁻(aq)

HI is a strong acid, so [H⁺] = 0.0172 M

Step 3: Calculate the pH

pH = -log [H⁺]

pH = -log 0.0172

pH = 1.76

Which of the following is the correct equation for the reaction below?
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

Option C.

2 Mg (s) + O₂(g) →  2MgO (s)

Explanation:

Two moles of magnesium solid react with one mol of oxygen gas to

form two moles of magnesium-oxide solid

2 Mg (s) + O₂(g) →  2MgO (s)

That's the reaction for the magnessium oxide's formation.

Be careful cause we do not say molecules, they are moles.

The stoichiometry indicates the number of moles that react and the moles which are produced.

It is a redox reaction, because the magnessium is oxidized and the oxygen is reduced. Both elements, changed the oxidation states.
