Answer:

the unknown substance is a protein

Explanation:

The biuret test is one of the tests for proteins. It can be used to detect peptide linkages. The biuret test is carried out in an alkaline solution. A coordination complex is formed leading to the appearance of a violet color.

Summarily, the biuret method is a colorimetric technique used to test for proteins and peptides. It involves the formation of a purple (violet) complex of Copper salts in alkaline solution.

Hence when the biuret reagent is added to an unknown substance and it turns purple, the unknown substance is a protein

Answer:

A metalloid is a substance that has both the qualities of a metal and a non metal. Metals conduct electricity and have a high melting point.The element described does not conduct electricity until temperatures are reduced therefore it is not a metal. The fact that conduction occurs when temperatures are reduced means that it is not a non metal because non metals do not conduct electricity at all. Therefore the element is a metaloid because it exhibits some properties of a metal and others of a non mental.
