Answer: Boron is the element which has properties of both metals and nonmetals.

Explanation:

Metals are defined as the elements which loose electrons to attain stable electronic configuration. They attain positive charge and form cation. Example: Zinc (Zn), Aluminium (Al) , copper (Cu)

Non-metals are defined as the elements which gain electrons to attain stable electronic configuration. They attain negative charge and form anion. Example: Chlorine (Cl) , Sulphur (S)

Metalloids are defined as the elements which show properties of both metals and non-metals. There are 7 metalloids in the periodic table. They are Boron (B) , Silicon (Si) , Germanium (Ge) , Arsenic (As) ,  Antimony (Sb), Tellurium (Te) and Polonium (Po).

Thus boron is the element which has properties of both metals and nonmetals.

If a 60-g object has a volume of 30 cm3, what is its density? 2 g/cm3 0.5 cm3/g 1800 g * cm3 none of the above
jasenka [17]

Answer : The density of an object is, 2g/cm^3

Solution : Given,

Mass of an object = 60 g

Volume of an object = 30cm^3

Formula used :

\text{Density of an object}=\frac{\text{Mass of an object}}{\text{Volume of an object}}

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get the density of an object.

\text{Density of an object}=\frac{60g}{30cm^3}=2g/cm^3

Therefore, the density of an object is, 2g/cm^3

A 2.00 kg piece of lead at 40.0°C is placed in a very large quantity of water at 10.0°C,and thermal equilibrium is eventually re
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

Δ S = 26.2 J/K

Explanation:

The change in entropy can be calculated from the formula  -

Δ S = m Cp ln ( T₂ / T₁ )

Where ,

Δ S = change in entropy

m = mass  = 2.00 kg

Cp =specific heat of lead is 130 J / (kg ∙ K) .

T₂ = final temperature  10.0°C + 273 = 283 K

T₁ = initial temperature ,  40.0°C + 273 = 313 K

Applying the above formula ,

The change in entropy is calculated as ,

ΔS = m Cp ln ( T₂ / T₁ )  = (2.00 )( 130 ) ln( 283 K / 313 K )

ΔS = 26.2 J/K

Which of these is not a covalent molecule?<br> 1. F2<br> 2. CO<br> 3. LiF<br> 4. NH3
beks73 [17]

LiF or lithium fluoride is the non covalent molecule or ionic compound.

Option 3.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Covalent molecules are those molecules which do have actual bonds between the atoms present in the molecule by sharing of the electrons. But in ionic molecules, there's no actual bonds between the atoms, but the oppositely charged ions are attracted towards each other by means of electrostatic force of attraction.

The molecules that are formed by the atoms with high electronegativity and electropositivity are actually ionic because the atoms with high electronegativity are able to actually gain electron readily and the atoms with high electropositivity are actually ready to give the electrons to the electronegative elements.

Lithium is highly electropositive and fluoride is highly electronegative. So they establish an ionic bond. But other molecules like fluorine molecule has both the electronegative elements, Carbon monoxide has carbon which isn't electropositive highly, and ammonia has hydrogen which isn't electropositive.

So lithium fluoride is the ionic compound.
