What makes a substance a good insulator

Chemistry
1 answer:
OLga [1]3 years ago

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.

lassify these bonds as ionic, polar covalent, or nonpolar covalent. Ionic Polar covalent Nonpolar covalent
jarptica [38.1K]

The question is incomplete, complete question is:

Classify these bonds as ionic, polar covalent, or nonpolar covalent.

Na-F

P-Cl

Cl-Cl

Answer:

Na-F  : The bond present is ionic bond.

PCl  : The bond present is polar covalent bond.

ClCl  : The bond present is non polar covalent bond.

Explanation:

1) Ionic bonds are defined as the bonds which are formed by the complete transfer of electrons from cation (positively charged ions) to anion (negatively charged ions). For Example: NaCl, BaSO_4 etc.

Ionic compound :This compound is formed when difference in electronegativity between the atoms is very large.

2) Covalent bond is defined as the bond which is formed by the sharing of electrons between the atoms. For Example: HCl, CH_4 etc.

Polar covalent compound: This compound is formed when difference in electronegativity between the atoms is present. When atoms of different elements combine, it results in the formation of polar covalent bond. For Example: CO_2,NO_2 etc..

Non-polar covalent compound: This compound is formed when there is no difference in electronegativity between the atoms. When atoms of the same element combine, it results in the formation of non-polar covalent bond. For Example: N_2,O_2 etc.

Na-F  : Two different atoms with high electronegativity difference

Ionic compound because sodium is metal and fluorine is non metal and the difference between their electronegativity is very large.The bond present is ionic bond.

PCl  : Two different atoms with low electronegativity difference

Polar covalent  compound because phosphorus and fluorine both are non metal and the difference between their electronegativity is not very large.The bond present is polar covalent bond.

ClCl  : Two same atoms with nil electronegativity difference.

Non Polar covalent compound because both are chlorine atom (non metal) and the difference between their electronegativity is zero.The bond present is non polar covalent bond.

Please help me I will really appreciate it !!!! And Please no links
BigorU [14]

Explanation:

Steaming up or fogging happens when steam condenses on the mirror. Steam emerging from hot water can condense on a colder surface. That’s the reason you can see the result on a mirror instantaneously. Obviously, for a bathroom mirror to steam up, the steam that originates at the shower spray (or the bathtub) has to travel through the cooler air to reach the mirror. Since air tends to heat up easily, the mirror can steam up fast.

The proper name for a carbohydrate polymer with 2 subunits is
valentina_108 [34]
Carbohydrates are classified in three major categories depending upon the number of sub units joining to form them. These are,

                                                Monosaccharides

                                                Oligosaccharides

                                                Polysachharides

The simplest single units are monosaccharides, if units are ranging between two and twenty they are called oligosaccharides and above twenty joining units they are called polysachharides.

Result:
          <span>The proper name for a carbohydrate polymer with 2 subunits is called Oligosachharide in general and Disaccharide in specific.</span>
