What makes a substance a good insulator

Chemistry
1 answer:
OLga [1]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

zoo wee mama

Explanation:

The particles that make up an object are held together by bonds. Insulators have strong bonds that hold their particles rigidly in place. This prevents particles from gaining energy and increasing the temperature. Wool, dry air, plastics, and polystyrene foam are all examples of good insulators.

How is synthesis and decomposition reaction related to each other???
Anit [1.1K]
They are kind of opposite processes. Chemical synthesis is execution of chemical reactions to make products. Like you take two substances, you put them together, they react and you have new a substance. For example. 2Na+{ Cl }_{ 2 }\rightarrow 2NaCl here Sodium and Chlorine react to make a new substance which is Sodium Chloride.

Chemical decomposition is process of seperating a substance to different substances. There is a substance by a reaction this substance becomes two substances, Like : XY -> X+Y For example : 2{ H }_{ 2 }O(l)\quad \rightarrow 2{ H }_{ 2 }+{ O }_{ 2 }

Why is studying light and electrons important for chemistry and understanding the universe?
Brut [27]

Explanation :

The study of light and electrons are important for chemistry & universe.

   As we know, everything is made up of particles even light & universe also. The particles are made of atoms and that atoms are made up of electrons, protons & neutrons.

   An electron is one of the most important type of subatomic particles. Electrons combine with the proton to form atom. These electrons, protons & neutrons play a vital role in chemistry and universe.

   The importance of an electron is that when two atoms react with each other or approach each other, their outermost shells come into contact first and these outermost shells electrons are involved in the chemical reaction.

    Also important for chemical reactions, creating bonds, for electricity and the understanding of electrons has allowed for the better understanding of some forces which are in our universe such as electromagnetic force.

    We know that the light is act as particle nature and it is a part of universe. As we know that chemists are only responsible for the chemical's study. Chemists cannot study the whole universe that is why they study light and the light is important because nothing would be able to survive.

    The studying of light is important for the photoelectric effect, absorption, bio-molecules synthesis, vitamin D synthesis, vision, colors, drying & evaporation, sterilization, solar energy, spectroscopy, signal system and also for electron excitation.
