Due to the high strength of iron compared to that of barium and phosphorus the nails are made of iron.
Though iron oxidizes to form rust on reacting with water but it does not explode. Whereas barium reacts vigorously with water with evolution of hydrogen gas. Barium on reacting with other nonmetals results in the formation of poisonous substances. Phosphorus is never found in its pure form in nature and is combustible.
Hence, nails are made up of iron but barium and phosphorus are not suitable for making of nails.
Answer:
Group 1
Explanation:
The alkali metals would do anything to lose their one electron and become a cation with a plus 1 charge. They basically have the lowest electronegativity values.
Answer:
Reductio is gain of electrons, while oxdation is loss. The oxidtion states of carbon in the reaction will show either of oxidation or reduction occurrence.
→ 
Explanation:
Electrons displacement is explained for each reaction below:
- +2 to +4 = loss of 2 more lectrons-------oxidation
- +4 throughout reaction----no exchange of electrons
- -4 to +4 = loss of 4 electrons-----oxidation
- 0 to -2 = gain of 2 electrons-----reduction
Ionic solids have high melting points and are rather hard. ... Covalent solids comprise two- or three-dimensional networks of atoms held together by covalent bonds; they tend to be very hard and have high melting points
No they do not measure the same.
