Answer: 250
Explanation:
You work this problem by using proportions.
A proportion is the equalization of two ratios.
Here you assume that the ratio of fish with tags to total fish that you catch is the same than the ratio of fish with tags to total fish in the pond.
Mathematically:
- 5 fish with tag / 25 fish = 50 fish with tag / x
Solve for x:
- Multiplication property of equality: x × 5 = 50 × 25
- Division property of equality: x = 50 × 25 / 5
- Result: 250
Answer: Boron is the element which has properties of both metals and nonmetals.
Explanation:
Metals are defined as the elements which loose electrons to attain stable electronic configuration. They attain positive charge and form cation. Example: Zinc (Zn), Aluminium (Al) , copper (Cu)
Non-metals are defined as the elements which gain electrons to attain stable electronic configuration. They attain negative charge and form anion. Example: Chlorine (Cl) , Sulphur (S)
Metalloids are defined as the elements which show properties of both metals and non-metals. There are 7 metalloids in the periodic table. They are Boron (B) , Silicon (Si) , Germanium (Ge) , Arsenic (As) , Antimony (Sb), Tellurium (Te) and Polonium (Po).
Thus boron is the element which has properties of both metals and nonmetals.
