The answer is most likely nonmetals. :)
Use the Ideal Gas Law to find the moles of gas first.
Be sure to convert T from Celsius to Kelvin by adding 273.
Also I prefer to deal with pressure in atm rather than mmHg, so divide the pressure by 760 to get it in atm.
PV = nRT —> n = PV/RT
P = 547 mmHg = 547/760 atm = 0.720 atm
V = 1.90 L
T = 33°C = 33 + 273 K = 306 K
R = 0.08206 L atm / mol K
n = (0.720 atm)(1.90 L) / (0.08206 L atm / mol K)(306 K) = 0.0545 mol of gas
Now divide grams by mol to get the molecular weight.
3.42 g / 0.0545 mol = 62.8 g/mol
In order to become a scientific theory the three
categories that it must pass are the following:
1) Can the phenomena be recreated in a laboratory setting?
2) Can variables be changed, yet still result in like observations?
3) Is the phenomena truly natural or was it the result of a man-made force
enacting upon it?
We have to get the relationship between metallic character and atomic radius.
Metallic character increases with increase in atomic radius and decrease with decrease of atomic radius.
If electrons from outermost shell of an element can be removed easily, that atom can be considered to have more metallic character.
With increase in atomic radius, nuclear force of attraction towards outermost shell electron decreases which facilitates the release of electron.
With decrease in atomic radius, nuclear force of attraction towards outermost shell electrons increases, so electrons are hold tightly to nucleus. Hence, removal of electron from outermost shell becomes difficult making the atom less metallic in nature.
