Answer: option B. metals.


Justification:


1) Elements can be classified into three main categories: metals, nonmetals, and metaloids.


The metals constitute the most of the elements, which you can see in a periodic table.


2) Most metals are ductiles and malleables, which means that they can be formed into thin sheets and wires.


3) The nonmetals are either gases or brittle solids, ergo they are not malleables.


4) Metalloids have some metallic properties, son nonmetallic properties, and some intermediate properties. They are not malleable nor ductile. There are only 8 metalloids: boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, tellurium, polonium and astatine. They are brittle.


The malleabillity is a typical property of the metals.

When 2.69 g 2.69 g of a nonelectrolyte solute is dissolved in water to make 345 mL 345 mL of solution at 26 °C, 26 °C, the solut
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

The molar concentration of this solution is 0.0463 mol/L

Explanation:

Step 1 : Data given

Mass of a nonelectrolyte solute = 2.69 grams

Volume of water = 345 mL = 0.345 L

Temperature = 26.0°CC = 273 + 26 = 299 K

The osmotic pressure = 863 torr

⇒ 863torr /760 = 1.13553 atm

Step 2: Calculate the molar concentration of this solution

Π = i*M*R*T

⇒with Π = the osmotic pressure = 1.13553 atm

⇒with i = the van't Hoff factor of the nonelectrolyte solute = 1

⇒with M = the molar concentration = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒with R = the gas constant = 0.08206 L*atm/mol*K

⇒with T = the temperature = 299 K

1.13553 atm = 1 * M * 0.08206 L*atm/mol*K * 299 K

M = 1.13553 / (0.08206*299)

M = 0.0463 mol/L

The molar concentration of this solution is 0.0463 mol/L

Both kepler's laws and newton's laws tell us something about the motion of the planets, but there are fundamental differences be
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer: See description

Explanation:

Kepler's laws have three principal points:

1. planets orbit the sun in elliptical paths

2. the orbial period is related to the orbital distance by T^{2} = d^3

where T is the orbital period and d is the orbital distance, T is in years and d is measured in units of the earth sun distance.

3. planets closer to the sun move faster than planets far away from it.

Newton:

Newton discovered that there is a consequence to the gravity exerted by objects: mass, the heavier the planet, the more gravitational force it posseses ( thats why we orbit the sun)

with the gravitational force F_{gravitational} =G \frac{Mm}{r^2} newton discovered the inverse-quadratic relationship between the distance of the planets and the acceleration exerted by the force one could exert on another.

Kepler's laws were mostly based on observed evidence with quantitative relationships between the mentioned variables. Newton's laws are based on calculus and symbolic equations. While Kepler's mode is basic, Newton took another step in and build a more general model for gravity (which was improved by general relativity later). In a nutshell Newton proved the scientific causes for Kepler's laws...
