The same number of valence electrons exists in the same family of elements in the periodic table. In finding the answer to this problem, we just have to find the pair that belongs to the same family in the periodic table. The same family means same column. Among these, Oxygen and lead (Pb) are in the same family. This pair is the answer.
Steel is an alloy and consists of more than one element (mainly iron and carbon), therefore steel is a mixture.
Answer:
Option no 3
Explanation:
Metallic elements aren't usually crumbled in normal air pressure and conditions.
Döbereiner grouped the known elements into <em>triads</em> (sets of three) so that
• The <em>atomic mass of the middle element</em> was approximately the average of the other two
• The <em>chemical properties of the middle element</em> were between those of the other two
• The <em>physical properties of the middle element</em> were between those of the other two
One example of a triad is Li – Na – K.
(a) Atomic mass of Na = 23.0 u
Average atomic mass of Li and K = (6.9 u + 39.1 u)/2 = 46.0 u/2 = 23.0 u
(b) Li reacts slowly with water. Na reacts rapidly. Potassium reacts violently.
(c) Melting point of Na = 371 °C.
Average melting point of Li and K = (454 °C + 330 °C)/2 = 784 °C/2
= 392 °C
