Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Nitrogen is a non-metal and it is known that non-metals do not conduct electricity. Thus, it will be least conductive out of the given options.

Whereas antimony (Sb) is a metalloid. Metalloid are the substance that show properties of both metals and non-metals. Thus, antimony will conduct electricity.

On the other hand, bismuth (Bi) is a metal hence, it will conduct electricity.

Thus, we can conclude that the order from least conductive to most conductive will be nitrogen (N), antimony (Sb), bismuth (Bi).

Answer: The correct answer is Option A.

Explanation:

Conductivity of an element is defined as the tendency to conduct electricity. This property is shown mostly by metals and then by some metalloids and least by non-metals.

Metals are defined as the elements which loose electrons easily and thus can easily conduct electricity due to the presence of free electrons.

Metalloids are defined as the elements which show the properties of both metals and non-metals. Some metalloids are conductive, some are not.

Non-metals are defined as the elements which gain electrons easily and thus cannot conduct electricity easily and are considered as non-conductive.

From the given options:

All the three elements belong to same group but nitrogen is a non-metal, antimony is a metalloid and Bismuth is a metal.

Thus, the order of conductivity follows:

$\text{Nitrogen }$

Hence, the correct answer is Option A.

an atmosphere is considered hazardous if it contains a hazardous gas in excess of 10 percent of the hazardous material's:

svlad2 [7]

Lower flammable limit means the lowest concentration of a material that will propagate a flame.

What is hazardous atmosphere?

It is an atmosphere that may expose employees to risk of death, incapacitation, impairment of ability to self-rescue, injury, or acute illness from one or more of following causes

Flammable gas, vapor, or mist in excess of 10 percent of lower flammable limit (LFL)
Airborne combustible dust at concentration that meets or exceeds its LFL

What is lower flammable limit?

It means the lowest concentration of a material that will propagate a flame.
The LFL is usually expressed as percent by volume of material in air (or other oxidant)
Atmospheres with concentration of flammable vapors at or above 10 percent of lower explosive limit (LEL) are considered hazardous when located in confined spaces.
However, atmospheres with flammable vapors below 10 percent of LEL are not necessarily safe. Such atmospheres are too lean to burn

How do you get hyphen notations?

laiz [17]

Answer:

In hyphen notation, the mass number is written after the name of the element. For example, in isotopic notation, the isotope of carbon that has a mass number of twelve would be represented as 12C . In hyphen notation, it would be written as carbon-12.

Convert 7.02 mol of NaCl to formula units??

nika2105 [10]

To convert the number of moles a compound to formula units, the conversion factor is Avogadro's number, 6.022 x10^23 formula units/ mol. In this case, we are given with 7.02 moles of sodium chloride. Hence the answer is 4.23 x 10^24 formula units.
