How do electrostatic forces affect the geometry and polarity of molecules?

Answer:

A metalloid is a type of chemical element which has a preponderance of properties in between, or that are a mixture of, those of metals and nonmetals. There is no standard definition of a metalloid and no complete agreement on which elements are metalloids. Despite the lack of specificity, the term remains in use in the literature of chemistry.

A series of six elements called the metalloids separate the metals from the nonmetals in the periodic table. The metalloids are boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, and tellurium. These elements look metallic; however, they do not conduct electricity as well as metals so they are semiconductors. They are semiconductors because their electrons are more tightly bound to their nuclei than are those of metallic conductors. Their chemical behavior falls between that of metals and nonmetals. For example, the pure metalloids form covalent crystals like the nonmetals, but like the metals, they generally do not form monatomic anions. This intermediate behavior is in part due to their intermediate electronegativity values. In this section, we will briefly discuss the chemical behavior of metalloids and deal with two of these elements—boron and silicon—in more detail.

Help me answer this plz.

Answer:

87.58 L of C₂H₂

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the number of mole in 250 g of CaC₂.

This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of CaC₂ = 250 g

Molar mass of CaC₂ = 40 + (12×2)

= 40 + 24

= 64 g/mol

Mole of CaC₂ =?

Mole = mass /Molar mass

Mole of CaC₂ = 250 / 64

Mole of CaC₂ = 3.91 moles

Next, the balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:

CaC₂ + 2H₂O —> C₂H₂ + Ca(OH)₂

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of CaC₂ reacted to produce 1 mole of C₂H₂.

Next, we shall determine the number of mole of C₂H₂ produced by the reaction of 250 g (i.e 3.91 moles) of CaC₂. This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of CaC₂ reacted to produce 1 mole of C₂H₂.

Therefore, 3.91 moles of CaC₂ will also react to produce 3.91 moles of C₂H₂.

Finally, we shall determine the volume of C₂H₂ produced from the reaction. This can be obtained as follow:

Recall:

1 mole of any gas occupy 22.4 L at STP.

1 mole of C₂H₂ occupied 22.4 L at STP.

Therefore, 3.91 moles of C₂H₂ will occupy = 3.91 × 22.4 = 87.58 L

Thus, 87.58 L of C₂H₂ is produced from the reaction.

Answer: 12.18 u

Explanation: The average atomic mass of an element is calculated by taking the weighted average of the atomic masses of its stable isotopes.

In other words, each stable isotope will contribute to the average mass of the element proportionally to its abundance.
