<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.

Answer:

1)The proximity of the positively charged phosphorous and negatively charged carbon stabilizes the charges.

2) Inductive effects and resonance stabilize the negative charge

Explanation:

both atoms have full octets of electrons( I.e Carbon and say phosphorus). The result can be viewed as a structure in which two adjacent atoms are connected by both a covalent and an ionic bond; normally written X+–Y−. Ylides are thus 1,2-dipolar compounds, and a subclass of zwitterions

For a given sample of ch3oh, the enthalpy change during the reaction is 82.3 kj . how many grams of methane gas are produced?
Leno4ka [110]
The equation is as follows;
 2CH3OH(g) = 2CH4(g) + O2(g), ΔH= +252.8 kJ
From the equation; for the reaction to produce 2 moles of methane (32g) an energy of 252.8 kJ is released.
Therefore; for an energy of 82.3 kJ the number of moles that will be produced will be;    =  (2×82.3)/252.3
                               = 0.6524 moles
                  which is equivalent to 0.6524 × 16 = 10.438 g
There, the mass of CH4 produced will be 10.438 g

Why are ions created in an ionic bond?
Dmitry [639]
Ionic bounds are formed due to the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions in a chemical compound.
The atom that loses the electrons becomes a positively charged ion (cation), while the one that gains them becomes a negatively charged ion (anion).
