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.

An atom of argon has a radius rar = 88 pm and an average speed in the gas phase at 25°C of 172 m/s.
Rudik [331]

Answer:

1.2* 10³ rNe.

Explanation:

Given speed of neon=350 m/s

Un-certainity in speed= (0.01/100) *350 =0.035 m/s

As per heisenberg uncertainity principle

Δx*mΔv ≥\frac{h}{4\pi }

Are the bonds in each of the following substances ionic, nonpolar covalent, or polar covalent? (a)KCl (b)P4 (c)BF3 (d)SO2 (e)Br2
larisa [96]

Answer:

(a) Ionic

(b) Nonpolar covalent

(c) Polar covalent

(d) Polar covalent

(e) Nonpolar covalent

(f) Polar covalent

<em>For those substances with polar covalent bonds, which has the least polar bond?</em> NO₂

<em>For those substances with polar covalent bonds, which has the most polar bond?</em> BF₃

Explanation:

<em>Are the bonds in each of the following substances ionic, nonpolar covalent, or polar covalent?</em>

The nature of a bond depends on the modulus of the difference of electronegativity (|ΔEN|) between the atoms that form it.

  • If |ΔEN| = 0, the bond is nonpolar covalent.
  • If 0 < |ΔEN| ≤ 2, the bond is polar covalent.
  • If |ΔEN| > 2, the bond is ionic.

<em>(a) KCl</em>    |ΔEN| = |EN(K) - EN(Cl)| = |0.8 - 3.0| = 2.2. The bond is ionic.

<em>(b) P₄</em>      |ΔEN| = |EN(P) - EN(P)| = |2.1 - 2.1| = 0.0. The bond is nonpolar covalent.

<em>(c) BF₃</em>    |ΔEN| = |EN(B) - EN(F)| = |2.0 - 4.0| = 2.0. The bond is polar covalent.

<em>(d) SO₂</em>   |ΔEN| = |EN(S) - EN(O)| = |2.5 - 3.5| = 1.0. The bond is polar covalent.

<em>(e) Br₂</em>    |ΔEN| = |EN(Br) - EN(Br)| = |2.8 - 2.8| = 0.0. The bond is nonpolar covalent.

<em>(f) NO₂</em>   |ΔEN| = |EN(N) - EN(O)| = |3.0 - 3.5| = 0.5. The bond is polar covalent.
