A conductor is what helps heat or electricity pass through an object. Examples of conductors are, silver, iron, aluminum, etc..

An insulator does the opposite and instead, stops either from going through. Examples of an insulator is paper, wood, rubber, etc.

How many moles of calcium are there in 5.74 x 1022 atoms of calcium?
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

0.095 moles of Calcium is there in 5.74 x 1022 atoms of calcium.

Explanation:

  • As we know, 6.023*10^23 atoms of an element is equal to its atomic weight.

       And, 6.023*10^23 atoms of an element is also equal to 1 mole of the             element.

We have,

  • 6.023*10^23 atoms of element calcium equals to 1 mole of Calcium
  • 5.74*10^22 atoms of element calcium equals to

         (1/(6.023*10^.23)) * 5.74*10^22 moles of calcium

Therefore,

  • 5.74 x 1022 atoms of calcium= 0.095 moles of calcium.

The periodic table is based on an element's
grin007 [14]
Well, TECHNICALLY, the periodic table is "based" upon a whole myriad of characteristics. But if you're talking about the consecutive arrangement of elements...it would be B, the atomic number.

2. What evidence is there that mass extinction events occurred?
Natalija [7]

Answer: Although the best-known cause of a mass extinction is the asteroid impact that killed off the non-avian dinosaurs, in fact, volcanic activity seems to have wreaked much more havoc on Earth's biota. Volcanic activity is implicated in at least four mass extinctions, while an asteroid is a suspect in just one. Examples, of mass extinctions are Permian extinction of marine species, and Cretaceous extinction of various species, including dinosaurs.

Uranium-267 undergoes alpha decay, what is the mass of the new element?
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

will this help ?

Explanation:

(108Hs) is a synthetic element, and thus a standard atomic weight cannot be given. Like all synthetic elements, it has no stable isotopes. The first isotope to be synthesized was 265Hs in 1984. There are 12 known isotopes from 263Hs to 277Hs and 1–4 isomers. The most stable isotope of hassium cannot be determined based on existing data due to uncertainty that arises from the low number of measurements. The confidence interval of half-life of 269Hs corresponding to one standard deviation (the interval is ~68.3% likely to contain the actual value) is 16 ± 6 seconds, whereas that of 270Hs is 9 ± 4 seconds. It is also possible that 277mHs is more stable than both of these, with its half-life likely being 110 ± 70 seconds, but only one event of decay of this isotope has been registered as of 2016.[1][2].
