For electricity to flow there must be a flow of electrons or ions present in a system or medium. When electricity is passed in pure water, oxygen does not have d-orbitals or f-orbitals through which electrons may pass. In pure water there are no electrolytic substance, so no ions present in the pure water. Therefore electricity can not pass through pure water. Additionally; water cannot dissociate into OH- and H+ when electricity is passed through pure water.
Lithium is a metal and Fluorine is a non-metal, which means they will form an ionic bond. An ionic bond is when a metal atom donates its electron complete to a non-metal atom.
Answer:
Relative and average atomic mass both describe properties of an element related to its different isotopes. However, relative atomic mass is a standardized number that's assumed to be correct under most circumstances, while average atomic mass is only true for a specific sample.
Explanation:
Hello!
To know the melting or boiling points of substances is extremely important:
-In a Scientific Setting, it would help identify and separate unknown substances, as the melting or boiling points are unique for each compound, and their determination is useful for identifying and separating them.
-In an Industrial Setting, it would help engineers to know the storage temperatures of compounds. Some compounds if stored at temperatures above their boiling points will evaporate and when stored at temperatures under their melting points will solidify. In some cases this behavior is undesired and knowledge of boiling and melting points is important.
Have a nice day!
