How to classify an unknown element as a metal, metalloid, or non-metal

You can classify a metal: when a subject can surely conduct electricity.

examples: if a problem says the unknown object is malleable, or says "on the left side of the periodic table", is a conductor, is shiny, etc.


Metalloids: when a subject is alongside the staircase, uses word "semi-conductor", it depends on if it's malleable or ductile, and depends on whether it's shiny or not, etc.


Nonmetal: is located on the right side of the periodic table, can ONLY be an insulator, is not malleable, is not shiny, etc.

pentagon [3]

The answer is A. Volcanoes and earthquakes often occur near place boundaries. Volcanoes are exit points for heat from the Earth's core. And Earthquakes are caused by the tectonic places colliding along another one. For example one tectonic plate would be slowly moving south, and another next to it could collide with the South-going plate while going North, and that is what causes Earthquakes.

Consider the addition of an electron to the following atoms from the fourth period. Rank the atoms in order from the most negati
lesya [120]

Answer:

Ge: [Ar] 3d10 4s2 4p2 => 6 electrons in the outer shell

Br: [Ar] 3d10 4s2 4p5 => 7 electrons in the outer shell

Kr: [Ar] 3d10 4s2 4p6 => 8 electrons in the outer shell

Explanation:

The electron affinity or propension to attract electrons is given by the electronic configuration. Remember that the most stable configuration is that were the last shell is full, i.e. it has 8 electrons.

The closer an atom is to reach the 8 electrons in the outer shell the bigger the electron affinity.

Of the three elements, Br needs only 1 electron to have 8 electrons in the outer shell, so it has the biggest electron affinity (the least negative).

Ge: needs 2 electrons to have 8 electrons in the outer shell, so it has a smaller (more negative) electron affinity than Br.

Kr, which is a noble gas, has 8 electrons and is not willing to attract more electrons at all, the it has the lowest (more negative) electron affinity of all three to the extension that really the ion is so unstable that it does not make sense to talk about a number for the electron affinity of this atom.

Convert 99 moles of CO2 to atoms
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

              1.78 × 10²⁶ Atoms

Explanation:

Relation between number of molecules and moles is,

No. of Molecules = Moles × 6.022 × 10²³ Molecules/mol

No. of Molecules = 99 mol × 6.022 × 10²³ Molecules/mol

No. of Molecules = 5.96 × 10²⁵ Molecules

Also, In CO₂ Molecule there are 3 atoms.

So,

No. of atoms = 5.96 × 10²⁵ Molecules × 3

No. of atoms = 1.78 × 10²⁶ Atoms
