Is freezer ice toxic?

yes especially if its melted into water, the ice can contain deadly bacteria such as lysteria depending on what has been put into the freezer

What is the difference of insulators and conductors?

Insulators:

We define insulators as,

A nonconducting material that provides electric isolation of two parts at different voltages. To accomplish this, an insulator must meet two primary requirements: it must have an electrical resistivity and a dielectric strength sufficiently high for the given application. The secondary requirements relate to thermal and mechanical properties. Occasionally, tertiary requirements relating to dielectric loss and dielectric constant must also be observed. A complementary requirement is that the required properties not deteriorate in a given environment and desired lifetime.

Conductors:

We define conductors as,

A substance or medium that conducts heat, light, sound, or especially an electric charge.For Example,Metal wires, cables, rods, tubes, and bus-bars

How fast does Earth rotate around the sun?

Terra does not rotate around Sol. It revolves. The velocity averages ~139,000 kph. It's not an exact measurement since no orbit is perfect or unaffected by gravitational forces. Keep in mind our little buddy Luna is along for the ride as well. Cheers!

When was the steam engine created?

The mathematician and scientist Hero of Alexandria recorded experiments with the steam discharge device called the aeolipile around the first century AD, although Vitruvius may have built a model some 50 years earlier. Blasco De Garay used a steam device to propel a ship in 1543. A type of steam-powered pump was patented by Thomas Savery in 1598, the first practical steam engine.

Thomas Newcomen developed a piston engine powered by steam in 1712, but James Watt is credited with its improvement into an efficient device beginning in 1763. Watt's design used a separate chamber for condensing the steam, enabling most of the heat energy of the expanding steam to move its cylinders.

What is the amount of IQ for most people?

According to the information page at Mensa.org,

The term "IQ score" is widely used but poorly defined. There are a large number of tests with different scales. The result on one test of 132 can be the same as a score 148 on another test.

That being said, the 'average' IQ is 100.

(From 2hello2)I believe the average for an IQ test MUST be 100. whatever else, the average IQ MUST be 100.

What is the main sugar used by cells for energy?

The Hawaiian Islands are formed by these ocean structures?

sea mounts

The Hawaiian islands were formed by volcanoes. Volcanoes have two methods of formation, convergence of tectonic plates at the edges of the plates, and hot spots under the middle of plates. The Hawaiian islands and others in that area were formed when magma from the mantle rose to Earth's surface through a certain spot in the middle of the plate (i.e., the Pacific Plate for the Hawaiian Islands). This hot spot is situated beneath the center of the plate, and the volcano above moves with the plate as it moves, but the hot spot stays in place. This causes the original volcano to become extinct when its move cuts it off from its magma source and an island is born. A new volcano will then form above the hot spot again. This process repeats as the plate moves and a string of volcanoes (and eventually, islands) will dot the surface of the plate as the movement continues away from the hot spot.
