Explanation:

The purpose of insulation covering the metal part of an electrical wire is to prevent accidental contact with other conductors of electricity, which might result in an unintentional electric current through those other conductors

Most electrical wire is covered in a rubber or plastic coating called insulation. The purpose of insulation covering the metal part of an electrical wire is to prevent accidental contact with other conductors of electricity, which might result in an unintentional electric current through those other conductors

so does this helps?

Describe the relationship between the radius of a cation and that of the atom from which forms.

vichka [17]

The radius of the cation is much smaller than the corresponding neutral atom.(b) The radius of an anion is much larger than the corresponding neutral atom.Explanation:The size of the atom or ion is inversely proportional to the nuclear charge experienced by the electrons.(a)The size of the cation is smaller than the size of the corresponding neutral atom. This is because after removal of an electron from the highest principle energy level the nuclear charge experienced by the valence electrons increases resulting in the decrease in size.(b)The size of an anion is larger than the size of the corresponding neutral atom. In an anion, an extra electron is added to the highest principle energy level but the effective nuclear charge pulling the electrons towards the nucleus is still same. The net effective nuclear charge experienced by the electrons present in the outermost shell decrease. Moreover, due to the added electron, the repulsion between the electrons also increases resulting in the increase in size

Make since? i hope this helps

The cis and trans geometric isomers of a compound have different chemical and physical properties. Draw the structure of the geo

frutty [35]

<u>Answer:</u> The structure of the geometrical isomers are attached below.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Cis- and Trans- isomers are the geometrical isomers which have same chemical formula but different structural formula

According to CIP rule, the groups on the doubly bonded carbon atoms are given priorities based on the the atomic masses of first connected atom.

If the highest priority groups are on the same side, it is known as cis-form and if the highest priority groups are on opposite side, it is known as trans-form.

We are given a chemical compound, which is 2-pentene.

In this the highest priority groups are methyl and ethyl groups.

When the groups are on the same side, it forms cis-form and when the groups are on the opposite side, it forms trans-form

The structure of the geometrical isomers are attached below.
