Explanation:
Electric conductors are the substances which allow easy passage of electric charges from one atom to another in the presence of a certain amount of voltage.
A conductor in which electric charge passes easily is known as a good conductor. Whereas a conductor in which electric charge passes with difficulty or no electric charge passes through is known as bad conductor.
For example, copper is good conductor of heat and electricity as it conducts flow of current quite easily.
Melting points and boiling points of molecular compound are usually lower than ionic compounds. This is so as only a small amount of energy is required to overcome the weak intermolecular forces of attraction (Van de Waals forces) thus having lower m.p. and b.p.
Ionic compounds require a large amount of energy to overcome the strong electrostatic forces of attraction between the ions, hence having higher mp and bp
Answer:
Explanation:
Given that:
Half life = 
days
Where, k is rate constant
So,
The rate constant, k = 0.00007 days⁻¹
Using integrated rate law for first order kinetics as:
![[A_t]=[A_0]e^{-kt}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BA_t%5D%3D%5BA_0%5De%5E%7B-kt%7D)
Where,
![[A_t]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BA_t%5D)
is the concentration at time t
![[A_0]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BA_0%5D)
is the initial concentration
Given:
5 % is lost which means that 0.05 of is decomposed. So,
![\frac {[A_t]}{[A_0]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%20%7B%5BA_t%5D%7D%7B%5BA_0%5D%7D)
= 1 - 0.05 = 0.95
t = ?
![\frac {[A_t]}{[A_0]}=e^{-k\times t}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%20%7B%5BA_t%5D%7D%7B%5BA_0%5D%7D%3De%5E%7B-k%5Ctimes%20t%7D)
t = 732.76 days =
electrostatic and ionic are definitely not the answer because they have high melting point
hydrogen bonds are too weak and not permanent.
so the answer is apolar as it is soluble in polar solvents (water)
