The question is incomplete. Complete question is: Which list represents the classification of the
elements nitrogen, neon, magnesium, and
silicon, respectively?
(1) metal, metalloid, nonmetal, noble gas
(2) nonmetal, noble gas, metal, metalloid
(3) nonmetal, metalloid, noble gas, metal
(4) noble gas, metal, metalloid, nonmetal .................................................................................................................
Answer: The correct answer is option 2) nonmetal, noble gas, metal, metalloid
Reason: 1) Non-metal are bad conductors of electricity. Also non-metal are electronegative in nature. Hence, among the provided elements, nitrogen satisfied the criteria. Hence, it is a non-metal.
2) Noble gas are the elements which have completely filled outermost shell. Hence, among the provided elements, Neon satisfied the criteria.
3) Metal are good conductors of electricity. Also metal are electropositive in nature. Hence, among the provided elements, magnesium satisfied the criteria. Hence, it is a metal.
4) Metalloid have conductivity better than non-metals but poor than conductors. Hence, among the provided elements, Silicon satisfied the criteria. Hence, it is a metalloid.
Given expression: 6(2b-4). To find the value of 6(2b-4) at b= 5, we need to substitute the b=5 in the expression, we get….Therefore, the value of 6(2b-4) is 36, when b=5.

The fact that the student used different amount of water (another independent variable) is wrong with the experimental design
WHAT ARE THE COMPONENTS OF AN EXPERIMENT?
An experiment aims at solving a scientific problem or answering a scientific question. An experiment should contain a variable being changed called INDEPENDENT VARIABLE and a variable being measured called DEPENDENT VARIABLE.
In an ideal experiment, only one independent variable should be used while every other variable should be kept constant. This is done so as not to affect the result of the experiment.
In the experiment conducted by the student in this question, two independent variables were used i.e. the differentamount of water and the differenttemperatures. This is what is wrong about the experimentaldesign.
In a nutshell, the fact that two independent variables were used by the student is what is wrong about the experimentaldesign.
Sucrose is insoluble in dichloromethane because dichloromethane is not a polar solvent. Sucrose is soluble in water because the molecules of sucrose has the ability to react with the molecules of water and thereby forming hydrogen bond which enhance the dispersion of sucrose in the water. Sugar can not react in a similar way with dichloromethane because they do not possess chemical species that can react together to form bonds. Thus, sugar is a polar substance which can not dissolve in a non-polar solvent.
