Answer:

A conductor is a material that permits electrons to effortlessly go through it. Copper is a good conductor. Note that the valence shell has just a single electron.

While;

Materials that don't conduct are named insulators.(i.e. glass, porcelain, plastic, elastic. The covering on electrical wire is an insulator.)

Insulators don't conduct since they have a full or almost full valence shell and along these lines their electrons are firmly bound.

Explanation:

According to Bohr Rutherford model of Atom, An Atom contains three essential particles; Protons and neutrons that make up the nucleus and the electrons that circle or orbit the nucleus. The electrons circle the nucleus.

What is the mass number of an ion with 107 electrons, 159 neutrons, and a +1 charge? express your answer as an integer?

Darya [45]

<span>The mass number of an ion is calculated by adding the neutrons and electrons together. In this case 159+107=266. However, since this ion has a +1 charge, you must add 1 to the electrons. This would give a total mass of 267.</span>

A 4.215 g sample of a compound containing only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen is burned in an excess of oxygen gas, producing 9.58

Scilla [17]

Answer:

$\% O=27.6\%$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, for the sample of the given compound, we can compute the moles of each atom (carbon, hydrogen and oxygen) that is present in the sample as shown below:

- Moles of carbon are contained in the 9.582 grams of carbon dioxide:

$n_C=9.582gCO_2*\frac{1molCO_2}{44gCO_2}*\frac{1molC}{1molCO_2} =0.218molC$
