Tap water contains extra ions (ie not jusy H2O) which conduct. Deionised (as

the name suggests) has no extra ions so it is just H2O and which does

not conduct as it is not ionically bonded.

Do polar molecules conduct energy as well as ionic molecules explain?

Polar molecules, like water, can conduct electricity to a lesser degree compared to ionic compounds. This is because polar molecules have uneven charge distribution, allowing them to form weak electrical interactions, known as hydrogen bonds, which can facilitate some level of conductivity. However, ionic molecules have completely separated positive and negative charges, making them better conductors of electricity compared to polar molecules.


What does the electron sea model of metallic bonds help you to explain?

Properties of metals as high boiling point, high melting point, malleability, ductility, electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, lustre are explained by the theory of metallic bonds.


Which two properties are explained by the pool-of-shared-electrons model for metals?

The pool-of-shared-electrons model for metals can explain their high electrical conductivity and malleability. In this model, the atoms in a metal share their outer electrons freely, creating a "sea" of electrons that are mobile and can carry electrical charge easily, which contributes to the metal's conductivity. The delocalized nature of the electrons also allows the metal to be easily reshaped without breaking the metallic bonds, giving it malleability.


If a pot is hot and the handle is cold what material was the handle made of?

The handle was likely made of a material with high thermal conductivity, such as wood or plastic, which does not retain heat well. This would explain why it feels cold even when the pot is hot.


How is water's polarity connected to its boiling point, and can you explain this relationship?

Water's polarity is connected to its boiling point through the hydrogen bonds that form between water molecules. The polarity of water molecules allows them to attract each other, forming hydrogen bonds. These bonds require energy to break, which is why water has a relatively high boiling point compared to other substances of similar size. The more hydrogen bonds present, the higher the boiling point of the substance.

Why are there relatively few craters in the maria of the moon?

The maria on the moon have fewer craters compared to the highlands because they are made of younger, solidified lava flows that have covered and filled in older cratered regions. The volcanic activity that created the maria also played a role in erasing or masking the older impact craters.


How would you explain the terms ductility and thermal conductivity mean?

Ductility refers to the ability of a material to be stretched without breaking. A ductile material can be drawn out into a wire or thread. Thermal conductivity refers to a material's ability to conduct heat. Materials with high thermal conductivity can quickly transfer heat.

Stephen says that the numbers 38 and 40 are relatively prime. Explain why he is incorrect in making this statement?

The numbers are not relatively prime, because they have a common factor of 2. To simplify, any pair is relatively prime, if their GCD is 1. In this case, GCD(38,40) = 2 which is not equal to 1, thus, they are not relatively prime.
