Answer:

Explanation:

The electrical conductivity depends mainly on the type of chemical bonds between the atoms of a compound.

In the case of MgF2, FeCl3 and FeO3, these have the type of ionic bond. This means that in the atoms of the compound there is an electron transfer, to keep eight electrons in the outermost layer and thus resemble the electronic configuration of the inert gas closest to each of the two elements, due to this ions of opposite charges are formed that are held together by electrostatic forces. These types of compounds are good conductors of electricity, however, to have this property, they must be dissolved in water or molten.

In the case of Fe, however, the type of union between atoms is metallic. In this type of junction, valence electrons are quite free inside the metal, which makes it easy for them to move. For this reason, this compound will conduct electricity in a solid state.

1.What is the name of the compound CuCO3?. a. Copper (I) Carbonate. b. Copper (II) Carbonate. c. Copper Carbon Oxide . d. Copper

Studentka2010 [4]

1. Answer;

Copper (ii) carbonate.

The name of the compound CuCO3 is copper (ii) carbonate.

Explanation;

Cu is the chemical symbol for the copper and CO3 is the chemical symbol for the carbonate group and each one of them has valency of two. Therefore, a compound CuCO3 is formed.

2. Answer;

Yes

Ca2+ reacted with Na2S to form CaS and Na+

Explanation:

Calcium ions reacts with sodium sulfide to form calcium sulfide and sodium ions.

For example; a salt of calcium, calcium carbonate reacts with sodium sulfide to form sodium carbonate and calcium sulfide.

3. Answer;

NaCl and Ag+ do not form a product

Explanation;

The reaction between sodium chloride and silver metal will not take place. This is because silver (Ag) is less reactive than sodium metal and therefore cannot displace sodium from its salt. In other words, silver metal is lower in the reactivity series as compared to sodium metal which indicates sodium metal is more reactive than silver.

4. Answer;

Formation of a white precipitate ; this indicates that silver sulfide is insoluble in water.

Explanation;

When an aqueous solution containing Ag+ ions is added to aqueous solution of sodium sulfide (Na2S), there will be formation of white precipitate. Formation of white precipitate indicates that a reaction has taken place to form a water insoluble compound. The water insoluble compound occurs as a precipitate. The white precipitate is silver sulfide (Ag2S)

2 Ag+ (aq) + Na2S(aq) ----- Ag2S (s) + 2 Na+ (aq)
