Answer:
The group 15 elements: the pnicogens
Explanation:
The group 15 elements, nitrogen, phosphorus, arsenic, antimony and bismuth, all have the general valence shell electronic configuration ns2np3. They can all exist in the +3 or +5 oxidation state, with the +3 state increasing in stability as we move vertically down the group.
For an object to conduct electricity it should have free or delocalised electrons that are free to pass the charge and hence take part in conducting electricity.
From the given choices
Chlorine is a halogen existing as a diatomic gas. Iodine too is a halogen and 2 Iodine atoms held together by covalent bond. Cl - Cl bonds and I-I bonds are covalent bonds. the outer electrons of Cl and I take part in covalent bonds therefore they are fixed and not free to move about. therefore no free electrons to conduct electricity.
Sulfur is a solid that too is held together by covalent bonds so it does not have free electrons to conduct electricity.
Silver is a metal and a general property of metals are their ability to conduct electricity.
metal structure are metal ions tightly packed together. when the metal atoms are tightly packed their valence electrons are removed and delocalised. Positively charged metal ions are embedded in a sea of delocalised electrons.
therefore there are delocalised electrons that can conduct electricity
answer is 3) silver
Answer:
1.004×10²²
Explanation:
The molar mass of carbon is 12 g/mol
which means that:
<u>1 mole of carbon atoms has a mass of 12 grams.</u>
Since, diamond is a allotrope of carbon.
Mass of 1.00-carat diamond in grams is:
1.00 carat = 0.200 g
<u>
Since, 1 mole of C contains 6.022×10²³ atoms of C</u>
So,
12 grams contains 6.022×10²³ atoms of C
1 gram contains 6.022×10²³/ 12 atoms of C
0.200 gram contains (6.022×10²³/ 12)×0.200 atoms of C
Thus,
<u>1 carat diamond contains 1.004×10²² atoms of C.</u>
