Give four examples of properties of nonmetals that are exactly the opposite of the properties of metals

1 answer:

7 0

The properties of nonmetals- nonductile(cannot be turned into wire), dull color, high solubility, poor conductors, brittle(difficult to break) and have a wide range of colors. Compared to the properties of a metal- polished color, conducters of heat and electricity, cannot be dissolved, malleable(can bend). Would you like me to use certain elements to show this?

Be sure to answer all parts. Part 1 out of 2 how many electrophilic centers are present in acetyl chloride (ch3cocl)?

natima [27]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

There is One electrophilic center in acetyl chloride.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Electrophile is defined as any specie which is electron deficient and is in need of electrons to complete its electron density or octet. The main two types of electrophiles are those species which either contain positive charge (i.e. NO₂⁺, Cl⁺, Br⁺ e.t.c) or partial positive charge like that contained by the sp² hybridized carbon of acetyl chloride shown below in attached picture.

In acetyl chloride the partial positive charge on sp² hybridized carbon is generated due to its direct bonding to highly electronegative elements *with partial negative charge) like oxygen and chlorine, which tend to pull the electron density from carbon atom making it electron deficient and a good electrophile for incoming nucleophile as a center of attack.

If fluorine 20 undergoes beta decay , what will it become ?

e-lub [12.9K]

Fluorine 20 (F - Atomic number 9 and atomic mass 20). Firstly we need to know what is beta decay. Beta decay occurs when one neutron changes into a proton and an electron therefore the atomic mass will remain the same as even though we loose a neutron it is replaced by a proton, the atomic number is always raised by 1 when one beta decay occurs. The produced electron is shot out of the nucleus at an incredible speed. This speedy electron we call a beta particle.

Ok now the reaction.

20 20 0
F -> Ne + e
9 10 -1

Remember the atomic number determines the nature of the element ( i.e what elemnt it is).
Hope this helps :).

Consider a pot of water at 100 C. If it took 1,048,815 J of energy to vaporize the water and heat it to 135 C, how many grams of

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

There was 450.068g of water in the pot.

Explanation:

Latent heat of vaporisation = 2260 kJ/kg = 2260 J/g = L

Specific Heat of Steam = 2.010 kJ/kg C = 2.010 J/g = s

Let m = x g be the weight of water in the pot.

Energy required to vaporise water = mL = 2260x

Energy required to raise the temperature of water from 100 C to 135 C = msΔT = 70.35x
