A) What characteristics of physical properties distinguish metals from nonmetals?

Chemistry
1 answer:
salantis [7]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The answer to your question is:

Explanation:

a)

Metals: are shiny, malleable and ductile, they can conduct electricity and heat,  form cations in aqueous solutions.

Nonmetals: non-lustrous, brittle, not good conductors of heat and electricity, form anions in aqueous solutions.

b)

Metals are located in the left side of the periodic table

Nonmetals are located in the right side of the periodic table.

c)

Metal are use to make pans because they are good conductors of heat and also are malleable and ductile.

Nonmetals are used to make sleeping bags and coolers because they do not conduct heat so they can isolate matter.

The smallest unit of an element that retains all the characteristics of that element is called a(n)
Maksim231197 [3]
<span>The smallest unit of an element that retains all the characteristics of that element is called an A. atom.
Atoms consist of protons, electrons, and neutrons, but they are particles and don't have the characteristics of the element which is why D is incorrect. B and C are not the smallest units - atoms are smaller than them.

A solution is made by mixing 37.g of thiophene C4H4S and 72.g of heptane C7H16. Calculate the mole fraction of thiophene in this
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

0.38

Explanation:

Molar mass of thiophene= 84g/mol

Mass of thiophene = 37g

Number of moles= 37/84= 0.44 moles

Molar mass of heptane= 100 g/mol

Mass of heptane = 72g

Number of moles = 72/100= 0.72 moles

Total number of moles= 0.44 + 0.72= 1.16 moles

mole fraction of thiophene = 0.44/1.16= 0.38

Draw a lewis structure for ketene, c2h2o, which has a carbon–carbon double bond
MrMuchimi

Visual representation of covalent bonding indicating the valence shell electrons in the molecule, lines represents the shared pair of electron and pair of electrons that are not involved in bonding are represented as dots(lone pairs) are known as Lewis structures.

Compound formation takes place in order to complete the octet of each element that is according to octet rule, each atom forms bond with other atom in order to complete their octet that is to get eight electrons in its valence shell and attain stability.

An organic compound of the form R^{'}R^{''}C=C=O is known as ketene.

The given ketene is C_2H_2O.

The number of valence electron of:

C = 4

H = 1

O = 6

The number of valence electrons in C_2H_2O = 2\times 4+2\times 1+1\times 6 =16

2 electrons are involved in each single bond between carbon and hydrogen and 4 electrons are involved in each double bond formed between carbon-carbon and carbon-oxygen. Hence, the total number of electrons involved in bond formation are 12 and rest 2 pair of electrons are present on oxygen as lone pair of electrons.

Therefore, the attached image is the Lewis structure of C_2H_2O .
