Copper is a good conductor of heat. This means that if you heat one end of a piece of copper, the other end will quickly reach the same temperature. Most metals are pretty good conductors; however, apart from silver, copper is the best.

Aluminum is an excellent heat and electricity conductor and in relation to its weight is almost twice as good a conductor as copper.

Glass is a very poor heat conductor. It has one of the lowest possible heat conduction a solid (without air trapped in it) can possibly have, this is mostly due to its lack of ordered crystal structure. Since it's an insulator, the electronic contribution to the thermal conductivity is very small.

Metals and stone are considered good conductors since they can speedily transfer heat, whereas materials like wood, paper, air, and cloth are poor conductors of heat. ... These include copper (92), iron (11), water (0.12), and wood (0.03).

Wood and Glass do not conduct heat well, aluminum is the best for him to choose because

aluminum conducted heat the fastest at an average of 14 seconds. ... Aluminum has the ability to absorb heat faster than copper, and when removed from the heat source, will cool faster because it is less dense than copper

Select correct examples of linear molecules for five electron groups. Select correct examples of linear molecules for five elect

Shalnov [3]

Explanation:

Formula to calculate hybridization is as follows.

Hybridization = $\frac{1}{2}[V+N-C+A]$

where,

V = number of valence electrons present in central atom

N = number of monovalent atoms bonded to central atom

C = charge of cation

A = charge of anion

So, hybridization of $BeCl_{2}$ is as follows.

Hybridization = $\frac{1}{2}[V + N - C + A]$

= $\frac{1}{2}[2 + 2]$

= 2

Hybridization of $BeCl_{2}$ is sp. Therefore, $BeCl_{2}$ is a linear molecule. There will be only two electron groups through which Be is attached.

Similarly, hybridization of $XeF_{2}$ is calculated as follows.

Hybridization = $\frac{1}{2}[V + N - C + A]$

= $\frac{1}{2}[8 + 2]$

= 5

Therefore, hybridization of $XeF_{2}$ is $sp^{3}d. Therefore, [tex]XeF_{2}$ is also a linear molecule. Though there are three lone pair of electrons present on a xenon atom and it is further attached with fluorine atoms through two electron pairs. Hence, there are in total five electron groups.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options $XeF_{2}$ is the correct examples of linear molecules for five electron groups.

At a temperature of 280 K, the gas in a cylinder has a volume of 20.0 liters. If the volume of the gas is decreased to 10.0 lite

seraphim [82]

To solve this we assume that the gas inside is an ideal gas. Then, we can use the ideal gas equation which is expressed as PV = nRT. At a constant pressure and number of moles of the gas the ratio T/V is equal to some constant. At another set of condition of temperature, the constant is still the same. Calculations are as follows:

T1 / V1 = T2 / V2

T2 = T1 x V2 / V1

T2 = 280 x 20.0 / 10
