Answer:
They are classified as METALS.
Explanation:
Elements are simple substances that cannot be chemically broken down into smaller substances. Based on different characteristics, they are classified into 3 namely:
- metals
- non metals and
- metalloid( mainly act as semi- conductor).
METALS are the type of elements that loses electrons to form positive ion, that is, they are electropositive elements. They are distinguished by the following characteristics:
- LUSTROUS: they have the ability to reflect light from its surface.
- At room temperature: Metals are solid are room temperature with the exception of Mercury which is liquid at room temperature.
- They react and form Basic Compounds
- Great conductor: most metals are great conductors of heat and electricity because they possess free electrons.
- Melting Point: they have high melting points.
Answer:
a. Dipole-dipole bonding
Explanation:
SO2 has dipole-dipole bonding. This is because of the difference in the electronegativities of Sulphur and oxygen. Moreover, the lone pair of electrons on S gives it bent shape with a net dipole unlike CO2 which has a linear shape.( This why CO2 does not have any dipole moment).
So, the correct answer is a.
Answer:
pH= 0.92
Explanation:
HNO3-> H^+ +NO3^-
HNO3 is a strong acid, so it fully dissociates
[HNO3] = 0.12M [H^+] = 0.12M
pH= -log[H^+]
pH=-log[.12] = 0.92
pH = 0.92
