Explanation:
The graphite anodes are suspended into the brine. During electrolysis, Cl ions are oxidized at the anode and chlorine gas goes out of the cell, while sodium ions are reduced at the mercury cathode forming sodium amalgam. ... Hydrogen gas is obtained as a by–product at the cathode.
1. carbon lies in the 2nd period where silicon in the third period.
2. carbon is a non metal whereas silicon is a metalloid.
3. there are only 3 isotopes of carbon and 23 isotopes of silicon
4. size of silicon atom is larger
5. silicon is heavier than carbon.
<span>The two types of energy that can be moved through conductors are electrical energy and thermal energy. Conductors are materials that allow electrons to flow freely or transfers heat more easily than other substances. Heat is transfered in conductors when fast moving particles (contains more heat) crash into slow moving particles. conductors allow electrons to flow freely from one object to another in contact. Metals are usually excelent conductors of heat and electricity. </span>
