Answer:
Ionic bonds hold charged particles in solid NaCl together, such that they are unable to move or conduct electricity.
Explanation:
Consider an electric current that flows through a conductor: charge moves in a uniform direction from one end of the conductor towards the other.
Thus, there are two conditions for a substance to conduct electricity:
- The substance shall contain charged particles, and
- These charged particles shall be free to move across the substance.
A conductor of electricity shall meet both requirements.
Now, consider the structure of solid NaCl 
. NaCl is an ionic compound. It contains an ocean of oppositely charged ions:
- Positive
ions, and - Negative
ions.
Ions carry charge. Thus, solid NaCl contains charged particles and satisfies the first condition.
Inside solid NaCl , electrostatic attractions ("ionic bonds") between the oppositely charged ions hold these ions in rigid ionic lattices. These ions are unable to move relative to each other. As a result, they cannot flow through the solid to conduct electricity. Under solid state, NaCl is unable to satisfy the second condition.
As a side note, melting NaCl into a liquid breaks the ionic bonds and free the ions from the lattice. Liquid NaCl is a conductor of electricity.
<span>The first method to determine the chemical composition of a substance in space was using light. By determining red shift in the observed spectrum of light they could determine the elements they were observing. Different elements change the way light behaves and from this scientists can determine the makeup of things such as stars and nebulas.</span>
Answer: Molarity increases
Explanation:
Molarity, also known as concentration in moles/dm3 or g/dm3, is calculated by dividing the amount of solute dissolved by the volume of solvent. So, Molarity (c) = amount of solute (n) / volume (v)
i.e c = n/v
Hence, molarity is directly proportional to the amount of solute dissolved, and inversely proportional to the volume of solvent.
Thus, at same volume, any increase in solute amount increases molarity while a decrease will also decreases molarity.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
Menthol (M 156.3 g/mol), the strong-smelling substance in many cough drops, is a compound of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. When 0.1595 g of menthol was bunted in a combustion apparatus. 0.449 g of CO_2 and 0.184 g of H_2 O formed.
