Answer:
The increasing order of conductivity is O< Ge< Mn.
Explanation:
Electrical conductivity is defined as the measure of the ability of a material to conduct electrical current through it. The conductivity depends on the atomic and molecular structure of the material.
Metals are good conductors because they have a structure with many electrons with weak bonds, and this allows their movement instead non-metals have between four and eight valence electrons, which lack this tendency.
The conductivity increases in the periodic table from top to bottom and from right to left.
oxygen is a nonmetal therefore it is a bad conductor.
Germanium is a metalloid whose conductivity is greater than a nonmetal and worst than a metal.
Manganese is a metal,in this case, it is a good conductor.
Atoms in covalent bonds do combine so as to be stable. As covalent bond consist non metals e.g O2 in this example each atom has vacance of 2 orbitals/ electrons so shairing electrons result their stability
Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
The process in which sediment moves downhill is known as mass movement.
Different types of mass movement are landslides, mud slides, slump, creep etc.
Mud flow contains mass of saturated rock particles of all sizes. Mud flow arises due to sudden flood of water or due to heavy rain in a dry region (semi-arid region). Soil and rocks from a large slope area flow along with the flood water and gets washed to a gulch or canyon.
As a result, debris and water moves down canyon and lay out on the gentle slopes below.
Thus, we can conclude that mud flow is most likely facilitates mass movement after heavy rains in a dry region.
Answer:
B.Lone pair in pyrrolidine ring is localized and, therefore, is expected to be more reactive.
Explanation:
There are two nitrogen atoms bearing lone pairs of electrons in the structure of nicotine as shown in the image attached.
One nitrogen atom is found in the pyrrolidine ring. The lone pair on this nitrogen atom is localized hence it is more reactive than the lone pair of electrons found on the nitrogen atom in the pyridine ring which is delocalized a shown in the image attached to this answer.
Answer: Metals form cations.
The alkali metals (the IA elements) lose a single electron to form a cation with a 1+ charge.
The alkaline earth metals (IIA elements) lose two electrons to form a 2+ cation.
Aluminum, a member of the IIIA family, loses three electrons to form a 3+ cation.
Therefore, metals in the s and p block of the periodic table have 1, 2 or 3 electrons in their outermost orbit (or valence shell). Now to gain a stable octet metals lose either 1, 2 or 3 electrons from the valence shell thus forming cation with +1, +2 or +3 charge.
