<h2>Answer:</h2>

The substance with high electronegativity difference have high melting point.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Electronegativity:

                             It is a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons.

  • Higher the electronegativity higher the potential to attract electron pair.
  • So element with high electronegativity difference in elements tend to acquire the partial ions, attracting each other strongly.
  • Hence more strong bonds substances would have highest melting points.

Electronegativity is the ability of an element to attract electrons towards itself during bonding. Compounds with a metal and nonmetal that have a great electronegativity difference would result to a much stronger intermolecular force. Its effect on the melting point is to increase it further because it takes greater energy to break these bonds. <em>So, the higher the electronegativity difference, the higher the melting point.</em>

If an atom has three shell and number of valence electrons are two. Is this element metal
cluponka [151]

Answer:

Metal

Element: Calcium

Valency: 2

Explanation:

To find the element, let's use the periodic table. (Look below)

We already went past 3 shells, just need the 2 electrons after it.

Just skip to the 4th row and count 2 to the right

We end up at Calcium.

Calcium is a metal and we're also on the alkaline earth metals column.

Calcium will need to lose 2 electrons to reach stability, so the valency is 2.

Two samples of a compound containing elements a and b are decomposed. the first sample produces 15 g of a and 35 g of
Alborosie

According to law of definite proportion, for a compound, elements always combine in fixed ratio by mass.

The formula of compound remains the same, let it be a_{x}b_{y} where, a and b are two different elements.

Since, the ratio of mass remains the same , calculate the ratio of masses of element a and b in both cases

\frac{a}{b}=\frac{15}{35}=\frac{10}{y}

rearranging,

y=\frac{10\times 35}{15}=23.3

Thus, mass of b produced will be 23.3 g.
