Answer from: marelinatalia2000

The unknown substance is CoF2

Explanation:

Diamond is insoluble in water. It does not conduct electricity. Every atom in a diamond is bonded to its neighbours by four strong covalent bonds, leaving no free electrons and no ions .

Most diamonds are extremely efficient thermal conductors, but electrical insulators. Diamond conducts heat well as a result of the strong covalent bonds between carbon atoms in a diamond crystal.

The melting point of diamond is about 4027 °C.

Since the melting point of diamond is way higher, it's not soluble in water and diamond does conduct heat. The unknown substance is not diamond.

SF6 is slightly soluble in water.

SF6 is not hard but it's a gas.

The melting point of SF6 is about -64 °C

Since SF6 is a gas and not a solid and has a melting point way lower than the unknown substance; the unknown substance is not SF6

Aluminum is an excellent heat and electricity conducto

The melting point of Al is 660 °C

Since Al has a lower melting point and is a good heat conductor; the unknown substance is not aluminium.

CoF2 is sparingly soluble in water.

CoF2 has a melting point between 1100 °C and 1200 °C

CoF2 is a solid but a bad heat conductor

⇒ The unknown substance is CoF2

Answer from: Quest

the law of conservation of mass states that in a chemical reaction, the total mass of reactants is equal to the total mass of products. because atoms are only rearranged in a chemical reaction, there must be the same number of sodium atoms and chlorine atoms in both the reactants and products

Answer from: Quest

There is one s orbital, and there are three p orbitals, five d orbitals, and seven f orbitals. thus, the answer is b. do not confuse the number of orbitals in a subshell with the number of electrons the subshell can hold. each orbital can hold two electrons, so the capacity of an nf subshell is 14 electrons.
