Answer:

The options are not given, here are the options.

metal

a. Metal

b. a metalloid

c. a non-metal

d. a gas

The correct option is C.

Non metal

Explanation:

Henry should classify it as non metals because non metals are substances or elements that are poor conductors of heat and electricity they break easily I .e meaning they lack the ducibility of metals, meaning they cannot be stretched, they are brittle, they are not shiny and does not reflect light, they have high electronegativities that is they have atoms that can hold electrons to what they have.

Which statement describes a step in the formation of an ionic bond?
BartSMP [9]
The correct answer is  a metal atom forms a cation, and a nonmetal atom forms an anion.  This is because metals are less electronegative than nonmetals and will therefore give electrons to nonmetals.  Atoms that give up electrons will have a positive charge therefore becoming a cation while atoms that accept electrons will have a negative charge therefore becoming an anion.


Ions that have the same charge can't be attracted to each other since it takes a positive and negative charge to cause attractive forces. 

A less electronegative atom will transfer electrons to a more electronegative atom.

A metal (cation) can pull electrons from another metal (not an ion) but that does not form an attractive force between the two metals (You will learn more about this when you go over reduction potentials, redox reactions, and electrochemistry).

I hope this helps.  Let me know if anything is unclear.

As the [H+] in a solution decreases, what happens to the [OH–]? A. It increases and the pH increases. B. It increases and the pH
AleksAgata [21]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

D. It decreases and the pH increases.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • pH is a measure of the hydorgen ion concentration of a solution. Solutions with a high concentration of hydrogen ions have a low pH and solutions with a low concentrations of H+ ions have a high pH.
  • <em><u>[H+] and [OH-] are inversely related. Therefore; As the concentration of H+ increases the pH decreases. Since the concentrations of H+ and OH- are inversely proportional, as one goes up, the other goes down. </u></em>
  • <em><u>Therefore, an increase in OH- concentration will correspond to an increase in pH and a decrease in the concentration of H+.</u></em>
