Answer:
Metalloids are metallic-looking brittle solids that are either semiconductors or exist in semiconducting forms, and have amphoteric or weakly acidic oxides. Typical nonmetals have a dull, coloured or colourless appearance; are brittle when solid; are poor conductors of heat and electricity; and have acidic oxides.
Explanation:
The crystals will not be oxidised since it will be underground
Answer:
Given: 42 g of N2
Solve for O2 mass that contains the same number of molecules to 42 g of N2.
Solve for the number of moles in 42 g of N2
1 mole of N2 = (14 * 2) g = 28 g so the number of moles in 42 g of N2 is equal to 42 g / 28 g per mole = 1.5 moles
Solve for mass of 1 mole of oxygen
1 mole of O2 = 16 g * 2 = 32 g per mole
Solve for the mass of 1.5 moles of oxygen
mass of 1.5 moles of O2 = 32 g per mole * 1.5 moles
mass of 1.5 moles of O2 = 48 g
So 48 g of O2 contains the same number of molecules as 42 g of N2
