Answer:

A. Metalloid

E. Has similar properties as Ge

F. Belongs to Period 3

Explanation:

Silicon is the 14th element on the periodic table. Its unit is SI. Its properties straddles between those of metals and non-metals and it is described as a non-metal.

It's atomic weight or mass number is 28u. It has an atomic number of 14 i.e in its neutral state, the number of protons and electrons are equal to 14.

Silicon belongs to the 4th group and the 3rd period on the periodic table. Elements in the same group share similar chemical properties. The elements in Si group are: C, Ge, Sn and Pb. The properties of Si is similar to these elements because they all have a valency of 4. Across the period, the properties varies this is why Si would have a very different property from Al and P.

How many grams of O2 are needed to react with 18.2 g of NH3?

erastova [34]

Answer:

44 g oxygen are needed.

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of oxygen needed = ?

Mass of ammonia = 18.2 g

Solution:

Chemical equation:

4NH₃ + 5O₂ → 4NO + 6H₂O

Now we will calculate the number of moles of ammonia:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 18.2 g/ 17 g/mol

Number of moles = 1.1 mol

Now we will compare the moles of ammonia with oxygen from balance chemical equation.

NH₃ : O₂

4 : 5

1.1 : 5/4×1.1 = 1.375 mol

Mass of oxygen needed:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 1.375 mol × 32 g/mol

Mass = 44 g

Carbon diselenide (CSe2) is a liquid at room temperature. The normal boiling point is 125°C, and the melting point is –45.5°C. C

Tema [17]

Answer:

Explanation: The strengths of the inter molecular forces varies as follows -

$CO_{2}< CS_{2} < CSe_{2}$

The normal boiling point of CSe2 is 125°C and that of CS2 is 116°C, which explains the trend that as we move down the group, the boiling point of e compound increases as the size increases.

This usually happens because larger and heavier atoms have a tendency to exhibit greater inter molecular strengths due to the increase in size . As the size increases, the valence shell electrons move far away from the nucleus, thus has a greater tendency to attract the temporary dipoles.

And larger the inter molecular forces, more tightly the electrons will be held to each other and thus more thermal energy would be required to break the bonds between them.
