Can a element be a metal and a non metal

Chemistry
1 answer:
Dmitry [639]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

no

Explanation:

because in the periodic table there is a section for metals and a section for non metals. 'non' implies that it is not a metal and having an element be both metal and non metal would be contradictory.

The combustion of carbohydrates and the combustion of fats are both exothermic processes, yet the combustion of carbohydrates is
Julli [10]

Explanation:

There are two aspects of a reaction:

Thermodynamics:

Combustion of the compound is reaction with oxygen.

The carbohydrates contain more content of oxygen as compared to fats.

Hence, carbohydrates have lot of oxygen content which are already partially oxidized as compared to fats. Hence, combustion of the carbohydrates is a faster process.

Kinetics:

The molecular reacts also shows that the combustion of the carbohydrates is a faster process.

reativity of alkali metals increases down the group while reativity decreases down the group in helogens ​
BigorU [14]

Complete question is;

Chemical reactivity of alkali metals increases down the group while reactivity of halogens decreases down the group. Give reasons

Answer:

Explained below

Explanation:

Alkali metals exhibit reactivity due to their electropositivity. Now, for alkalis, their electro-positivity increases down their group. Since their reactivity increases with increase in electropositivity, it means their reactivity also increases down the group.

Whereas, the reactivity of halogens occurs as a result of their electronegativity. Now, electronegativity for halogens decreases down the group. Since their reactivity decreases with decrease in electronegativity, it means that their reactivity will also decrease down the group.

Since the number of atoms in a substance is so large , a unit to count them was created. This unit is the number of atoms in 12
larisa86 [58]

The number of atoms in one mole of any substance is measured by Avogadro's number. The value of Avogadro's number is 6.023 x 10 ^23. It is named after scientist Avogadro who proposed this number. 12 grams of carbon-12 represents 1 mole of carbon-12. For this reason, the number of atoms present in 1 mole of any substance is 6.023 x 10 ^23. Therefore, the number of atoms present in 1 mole carbon-12 is 6.023 x 10^23.


(Answer) This unit is the number of atoms in 12 grams of carbon-12 and known as Avogadro's number.
