<u>Answer:</u> Oxygen is a non-metal.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Elements are distributed into 7 period and 18 Groups in a periodic table.

Elements are classified into three categories:

  • <u>Metals:</u> They are called as metals because they loose electrons to attain stability. These elements belong from Group 1 to group 13 of the periodic table. They are hard and are mainly solid.
  • <u>Non-metals:</u> They are called as non-metals because they gain electrons to attain stability. These elements belong from Group 15 to group 17 of the periodic table. They are soft and are mainly liquid or gases.
  • <u>Metalloids:</u> They are called as metalloids because they show properties of both metals and non-metals. These elements belong from Group 14 of the periodic table.

Oxygen belongs to Group 16 and period 2 of the periodic table.

Hence, oxygen is a non-metal.

Change the following word equation into balanced formula equation
Natali [406]

Answer:

Fe + CuO ----> FeO+ Cu

Explanation:

A word equation is a chemical equation in which the reactants and products are represented by words rather than the respective symbols of the species involved in the reaction.

Generally, when writing a balanced reaction equation, it is normal to ensure that the number of atoms of each element on the reactant side is the same as the number of atoms of the same element on the product side. This has been ensured in the reaction above.

The reaction above is possible because iron is higher than copper in the electrochemical series hence iron can displace copper from its compounds.
