4 0

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Non-metals are the species which in order to complete their octet readily gain an electron.

For example, fluorine is a non-metal with atomic number 9 and its electronic distribution is 2, 7.

Hence, to attain stability it readily accepts an electron from a donor atom.

Some characteristics of non-metals are as follows.

Non-metals do not conduct electricity.

Non-metals are brittle in nature and they have a rough surface.

Non-metals are not malleable or ductile.

Thus, we can conclude that non-metals do not conduct electricity is a characteristic of non-metals.

1) If the pressure on 2.6 liters of a gas at 860 Torr is increased to 1000 Torr,
LenKa [72]

2.24 liters is the volume of the gas if pressure is increased to 1000 Torr.

Explanation:

Data given:

Initial volume of the gas V1 = 2.6 liters

Initial pressure of the gas P1 = 860 Torr 1.13 atm

final pressure on the gas P2 = 1000 Torr 1.315 atm

final volume of the gas after pressure change V2 =?

From the data given above, the law used is :

Boyles Law equation:

P1V1 = P2V2

V2 = P1V1/P2

   = 1.13 X 2.6/ 1.31

  = 2.24 Liters

If the pressure is increased to 1000 Torr or 1.315 atm the volume changes to 2.24 liters. Initially the volume was 2.6 litres and the pressure was 860 torr.
