Answer: If the outermost shell has 1–4 electrons, it is a metal.

If the outermost shell has 5–7 electrons, it is a non-metal.

Metal elements have 1,2,3 or 4 electrons in the outer most shell while non metals have 5,6 or 7 electrons.
Example - Carbon
atomic number - 6
electron configuration - 2,4
Meaning it has 4 electrons in its outer most shell which makes it a METAL.

Consider two acids: CH3CO2H (acetic acid, pKa = 4.8) and C6H5CO2H (benzoic acid, pKa = 4.2). Which acid is the stronger acid? Se
Masja [62]

Answer:

Benzoic acid

Explanation:

The strength of an acid is principally a measure of its dissociative capabilities in aqueous solutions. While strong acids dissociate completely in solution, weak acids dissociates only partially.

The relative strength of an acid can be obtained from its pKa value. The pKa value is the negative logarithm of the concentration of the Ka value.

Stronger acids have a pKa value usually negative. This is a pointer to the fact that the lower the pKa value, the stronger the strength of the acid in question.

Relatively therefore, Benzoic acid is stronger than acetic acid because it has a lesser value for pKa

How does maximum boiling azeotropic mixture is separated using fractional distillation?
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

By heating the mixture to maximum boiling point and then the solution is distilled at a constant temperature without having a change in composition.

Explanation:

An azeotropic mixture is also called a constant boiling mixture and it is a mixture of two or more liquids whose proportions cannot be altered by simple distillation due to the fact that when an azeotropic mixture is boiled, the vapor has the same proportions of constituents as the unboiled mixture.

Now, maximum boiling azeotropic mixture are the solutions with negative deviations that have an intermediate composition  for which the vapor pressure of the solution is minimum and as a result, the boiling point is maximum. At that point, the solution will distill at a constant temperature without having a change in composition.
