Metalloid
Explanation:
If an element is lustrous, brittle and a semi-conductor, it is best classified as a metalloid.
Metalloids shares attributes of metals and non-metals.
- They are often described as semi-metals as they do not share the full properties that makes a metal a metal.
- Metalloids are lustrous but not malleable like metals.
- They do not conduct electricity but they do so on certain conditions.
- Examples are silicon, germanium, boron, arsenic e.t.c
- They are usually found in the middle of the periodic table.
- They are not readily alloyed with metals.

<span>Answer: 56.6 moles
Explanation:
28.3 moles of Pb would produce twice as much moles as Ag.
28.3 X (2moles Ag/ 1 mol Pb) = 56.6 moles of Ag.</span>
Answer:
They were less influenced by the Sun and Gravitational interference of many smaller planets.
Explanation:
As we move down the group, the metallic bond becomes more stable and the formation of forming covalent bond decreases down the group due to the large size of elements.
Covalent and metallic bonding leads to higher melting points. Due to a decrease in attractive forces from carbon to lead there is a drop in melting point.
Carbon forms large covalent molecules than silicon and hence has a higher melting point than silicon.
Similarly, Ge also forms a large number of covalent bonds and has a smaller size as compared to that of Sn. Hence melting point decreases from Ge to Sn.
The order will be C>Si>Ge>Pb>Sn.
