Why are metals generally good conductors of electric current?

Chemistry
1 answer:
lakkis [162]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

(Hope this helps can I pls have brainlist (crown)☺️)

Explanation:

Because the atoms in metals form a matrix through which outside electrons may easily travel, metals are good conductors of electricity and heat. They generate a sea of electrons around the positive nuclei of the interacting metal ions, rather than circling their particular atoms.

The free flow of shared electrons can carry an electric current through a metal. Carbon atoms join with iron atoms to create bonds.

How do you balance redox equations in acidic solutions?
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

First, balance the half-reactions

Second, equalize the electrons

Third,add two reaction equations to get final answer

Explanation:

For example

H₂C₂0₄ + MnO⁻₄ ---------->CO₂+Mn²⁺

(i) Balancing the half reactions

H₂C₂O₄-------->2CO₂+2H⁺+2e⁻

5e⁻ +8H⁺+MnO₄⁻----------->Mn²⁺+4H₂O

(ii)

Equalizing the electrons

5H₂C₂O₄--------->10CO₂+10H⁺+10e⁻  ---here there is a factor of 5

10e⁻+16H⁺+2MnO₄⁻--------->2Mn²⁺+8H₂O -----here there is a factor of 2

(iii)

Add the two where electrons and some Hydrogen ions will cancel out

5H₂C₂O₄+6H⁺+2MnO₄⁻---->10CO₂+2Mn²⁺+8H₂O
