Chemistry

Answer:

Conductors allow electricity to pass through them, while insulators do not allow electricity to pass through them. Two examples of conductors are iron and steel. Two examples of insulators are plastic and glass.

Explanation:

When you put conductors in a circuit, it would result in a closed circuit while when you put insulators in a circuit, it would result in an open circuit. This is mainly because electricity can pass through conductors but not insulators. Metals are mostly conductors of electricity while non-metals are mostly not.

What are the exceptions to the periodic trends in ionization energy?
Verdich [7]

Answer:

The exceptions to the periodic trends in ionization energy are the first ionization energy of beryllium is higher than that of boron and the first ionization energy of nitrogen is also higher than that of oxygen.

Explanation:

Taking a close look at the figure of first ionization energies, it clearly shows that the first ionization energy of beryllium is higher than that of boron and the first ionization energy of nitrogen is also higher than that of oxygen.

This is as a result of Hund's rule and electron configuration. For example,  the first ionization potential electron of beryllium is obtained from a 2s orbital while that of boron comes from a 2p electron. However, for oxygen and nitrogen, their electrons are obtained from 2p orbitals. While spin is uniform for all 2p electrons of nitrogen, it is different for oxygen.

Why is argon used in a light bulb? using the terms of the electronic structure of an argon atom.
AVprozaik [17]
 The property of a filament of argon which lasts for a long time than air because argon is inert and will not oxidize the filament even at high temperatures is the key reason why argon is used in light bulbs compared to air which reacts quickly in  the atmosphere.

What is the total number of molecules in 11.2 liters of N2 gas at STP
scoray [572]
Molar volume at STP = 22,4 L

1 mole -------------- 22,4 L
 x mole -------------- 11,2 L

x = 11,2 / 22,4

x =  0,5 moles of N2

1 mole --------------- 6,02.10²³ molecules
0,5 moles ------------ y molecules

y = 0,5 . 6,02.10²³

y = 3,01.10²³ molecules
