<h2>Heptene formed is -</h2><h2>

</h2>
Explanation:
The two possibilities when the peroxide is not present
+ HBr →
In presence peroxide,
≡
+ HBr →
- When peroxides are present in the reaction mixture, hydrogen bromide adds to the triple bond of heptane with regioselectivity.
- This reaction is opposite to that of Markovnikov's rule which says that when asymmetrical alkene reacts with a protic acid HX, then the hydrogen of an acid is attached to the carbon with more in number of hydrogen substituents, and the halide (X) group is attached to the carbon with more in number of substituents of alkyl.
- One mole of HBr adds to one mole of 1-heptane.
- The structure of heptene formed is -

Answer:
They have properties of both metals and nonmetals
Explanation:
- Elements in the periodic table may be divided into Metals, non-metals, and metalloids.
- Metals are the elements that react by losing electrons to form stable positively charged ions known as cations. Examples are group 1, 2, and 3 elements together with transition elements.
- Non-metals are those elements that react by gaining electrons to form stable negatively charged ions called anions. Examples include oxygen, carbon, sulfur, etc.
- Metalloids, on the other hand, are elements that have both metallic and non-metallic properties.
- Metalloids occur between metals and non-metals in the periodic table. Examples include Boron and silicon among others.
Chemical properties can be determined by heat combustion, how they react with other chemicals, Oxidization (lose electrons, losing hydrogen, gaining oxygen), or toxicity.
