Explain why solid sodium chloride does not conduct electricity but does so and melting

1 answer:

6 0

So ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points. Conductive when liquid - Ions are charged particles, but ionic compounds can only
conduct electricity if their ions are free to move. Ionic compounds do not conduct electricity when they are solid - only when dissolved in water or melted .

A neutral atom of which of the four element has the smallest radius

arsen [322]

Answer:
Element 1

Explanation:
The ionization energy is defined as the energy required to remove electrons from the atoms.
We know that the nucleus of the atom attracts the electrons, thus, bound these electrons to the atom.
This means that as the radius decreases, the force of attraction between the nucleus and the electron will increase, therefore, the energy required to remove the electron would increase (and vice-versa).

Based on the above, the atom with the smallest radius would be the atom with the largest first ionization energy.

Hope this help :)

Describe where a hydrogen bond can form among water molecules.

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

In water hydrogen bonding formed between partially negative oxygen and partially positive hydrogen atoms.

Explanation:

Hydrogen bond is a partially electrostatic attraction between hydrogen (H), which is bonded to a more electronegative atom such as nitrogen (N), oxygen (O) or fluorine (F), and another adjacent atom bearing a lone pair of electrons.

In water molecule hydrogen and oxygen have difference in electronegativity, due to which dipoles are form. One is partial positive on hydrogen atom and other is partial negative on oxygen atom. The electrostatic attraction occur between two oppositely charged poles which is known as hydrogen bonding.

Explain the concept: Law of Multiple Proportions.<br> Short and simple please

cricket20 [7]

In chemistry the law of multiple proportions states that if two elements from more than one compound between them then the ratios of the masses of the second element which combine with a fixed mass of the first element will always be ratios of small whole numbers .
