Answer:-

Metalloids

Explanation:-

The stair step line is a line in the periodic table that divides the metals on one side and the non metals on the other side. So the elements which lie on the stair step line must have properties in between those exhibited by the metals and those by the non metals.

Such elements we know are called metalloids. Thus In the periodic table, the elements that are adjacent to the "stair step" are called metalloids.

What are bonds in metals like?<br> (K12)
elena-s [515]

Answer:

Metallic bonds are the force of attraction between positive metal ions and the valence electrons that are constantly moving around them. The ions form a lattice-like structure held together by the metallic bonds. Metallic bonds explain why metals can conduct electricity and bend without breaking.

Solutions of mercury (I) nitrate and potassium bromide are mixed
Afina-wow [57]
With that informatio you can:

1) Write the chemical equation
2) Balance the chemical equation
3) State the molar ratios
4) Predict if precipitation occurs.

I will do all four, for you:

1) Chemical equation:

mercury(I) nitrate  potassium bromide    mercury(I) bromide  potassium nitrate
<span>Hg2(NO3)2             +        KBr                   → Hg2Br2          +      KNO<span>3

2) Balanced chemical equation
</span></span>
<span>Hg2(NO3)2 + 2KBr → Hg2Br2 + 2KNO<span>3

3) Molar ratios or proportions:

1 mol </span></span><span>Hg2(NO3)2 : 2 mol KBr : 1 mol Hg2Br2 : 2 mol KNO<span>3

4) Prediction of precipitation.

You can use the solubility rules or a table of solubilities. I found in a table of solutiblities that mercury(I) bromide is insoluble and potassium bromide is soluble, Then you can predict that the precipitation of mercury(I) bromide will occur.
