How do atoms show both unity and diversity?
All atoms of one kind share common properties
What kind of atoms make up the compound iodine?
Iodine is not a compound. It is an element. Therefore, it has its own atoms: Iodine atoms.
What are materials that allow electrons to move through them easily?
A conductor. Most metals are conductors-they enable electrons to move freely through them, carrying an electrical charge. Most non-metals (notably excluding graphite, an isotope of carbon) are insulators which means that they do not allow an electrical charge to be carried through them.
What kind of bond has two atoms sharing an electron unequally?
A polar covalent bond. The atoms have different electronegativities.
What kind of atoms are in nuclear energy?
A fission of energy atoms generating nuclear energy that is used to produce electricity.
What is Simi conductors?
Simi conductors is kind of materials which can either conductors or insulator according to temperature degree .
What kind of material are in most conductors?
Most conductors contain metals. These provide the free electrons, which can pass a current.
Why are there good and poor conductors?
Because different atoms and molecules hold their electrons more or less tightly.
Why are metals good for electrical conductors?
Metal atoms have a few lightly-bound electrons in their outer shells, and these electrons can be easily moved by a modest electrical potential. This makes them good conductors.
Why are good conductors of heat good conductors of energy?
Heat is energy. You may mean electricity. Atoms larger than Helium have their electrons arranged in layers or shells. It is thought that both heat and electricity travel from atom to atom by moving through the electrons in the outer shell. In good conductors, it is easier for these electrons in the outer shell to move between atoms than it is in other materials. It is thought that electricity or heat moves when an electron moves between atoms.
Why are metals good heat conductors?
Some of the outer electrons of metal atoms are free to move from atom to atom. These free electrons transfer heat readily making metals good thermal conductors.
What does heat travel with easily through metals?
Metals are good heat conductors. The electrons are also exicted by thermal energy and that thermal energy rapidly moves to other atoms.
Why metal good conductors of heat?
Because the electrons of the atoms in the metal move freely and are not attached to one specific atom.
What kind of carbon atoms does a molecule of pentene have?
There is only one (chemical) kind of carbon atoms, they all are alike.
What kind of conductor metal is?
Most metals are good conductors of heat and electricity.
What kind of solutions have good conductivity?
Solution of electrolytes are good electricity conductors.
Which kind of elements are made of atoms?
All elements are composed of atoms.
