Which element would have properties characteristic of both a metal and a nonmetal

Chemistry
1 answer:
PolarNik [594]4 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Examples: Si, B, Ge, Sb, Ga

Explanation:

The majority of elements in the periodic table are classified as either a metal (a species that can lose electrons to become a cation) or a non-metal (a species that can gain electrons to become an anion).

However, there are several atoms which are considered to be metalloids. Metalloids are elements which possess properties that resemble both metals and non-metals. Examples of metalloids would be: silicon (Si), boron (B), germanium (Ge), antimony (Sb), gallium (Ga).

Since metalloids have properties of both metals and non-metals, they are widely used in semiconductors, as they might both donate and accept electrons in their shells.

valina [46]

Answer:

Increased the concentration

Explanation:

Complete Question

Open the simulation by pushing the play button.  Begin by dragging the concentration tester overto the liquid and add drink mix until the concentration reaches approximately 2.oo mol/L.  This means there are 2.00 moles of the drink mix in 1 Liter of the solution. Add more drink mix until you notice a color change. Have you increased or decreased the concentration? (Higher number means a higher concentration).

Solution

Drink mix is basically the solute which is added to solvent i.e water.

The higher is the amount of drink mix in the solvent, the higher is the concentration of the solute and hence darker is the color of the drink.

Hence, in the case the concentration of the drink has been increased.

A 3.00 L flexible container holds a sample of hydrogen gas at 153 kPa. If the pressure increases to 203 kPa and the temperature
dybincka [34]

To solve this we assume that the gas is an ideal gas. Then, we can use the ideal gas equation which is expressed as PV = nRT. At a constant temperature and number of moles of the gas the product of PV is equal to some constant. At another set of condition of temperature, the constant is still the same. Calculations are as follows:

 

P1V1 =P2V2

V2 = P1 V1 / P2

V2 = 153 x 3.00 / 203

<span>V2 = 2.26 L</span>

What is the energy of a wave with wavelength of 2.25nm?
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

E = 8.84×10⁻¹⁷ J

Explanation:

Given data:

Wavelength of wave = 2.25 nm (2.25×10⁻⁹ m)

Energy of wave = ?

Solution:

Formula:

E = hc/λ

c = 3×10⁸m/s

h =6.63 ×10⁻³⁴ Js

now we will put the values,

E = 6.63 ×10⁻³⁴ Js ×  3×10⁸m/s / 2.25×10⁻⁹ m

E = 19.89×10⁻²⁶ Jm / 2.25×10⁻⁹ m

E = 8.84×10⁻¹⁷ J
