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.
MgF is an ionic compound because it's bond is between a metal and a non-metal
Hey There!:
2 C2H2 + 5 O2 = 4 CO2 + 2 H2O
2 moles C2H2 ----------- 5 moles O2
35.0 moles C2H2 ------- moles O2
moles O2 = 35.0 * 5 / 2
moles O2 = 87.5 moles
hope this helps!
