3. Where are the metals and nonmetals located on the periodic table? What are some
xxTIMURxx [149]

Metals are located on the left of the periodic table, and nonmetals are located on the upper right.

Explanation: Metals: Lustrous (shiny)

Good conductors of heat and electricity.

High melting point.

High density (heavy for their size)

Malleable (can be hammered)

Ductile (can be drawn into wires)

Usually solid at room temperature (an exception is mercury)

Opaque as a thin sheet (can't see through metals)

Nonmetals: High ionization energies.

High electronegativities.

Poor thermal conductors.

Poor electrical conductors.

Brittle solids—not malleable or ductile.

Little or no metallic luster.

Gain electrons easily.

Dull, not metallic-shiny, although they may be colorful

Analyze how limestone is weathered and identify the features that are formed as a result of this dissolution
I am Lyosha [343]

Limestone is easily weathered by acid rain. When rain mixes with gases such as sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, acid rain is formed (sulfuric acid and carbonic acid respectively). When the rain precipitates and meets with limestone which is CaCO3, it is weathered a shown by the formulae; 2CaCO₃ (s) + H₂CO₃ → 2CaHCO3 (aq)

Geographical features formed as a result of weathering of limestone in rocks are caves, stalactites, and stalagmites.

A person's heartbeat is 71 beats per minute. If his/her heart beats 3.1e9 times in a lifetime, how long (in whole years) does th
Sidana [21]

First step: identify how many heart beats in a year.

To determine the heart beats in a year multiply the heart  beats in a minute with (60\times 24\times 365) years.  

Thus, heart beats in a year comes out to be = 71 \times (60\times 24\times 365) years

= 37317600 heart beats in a year

Heart beats 3.1\times 10^{9} in a life time.

Thus, number of years he lives is calculated by the division of  heart beats in a year and heart beats in a life time.

Number of years he lives = \frac{3.1\times 10^{9}}{37317600}

= 8.3\times 10^{-8}\times 10^{9}

= 8.3\times 10

= 83.0 years

Thus, number of years he lives is 83.0 years

15 Which statement describes the particles of an ideal gas, based on the kinetic molecular theory?
serg [7]

<u>Ans: (2) The gas particles have no attractive forces between them.</u>

The kinetic theory explains the behaviour of a hypothetical ideal gas. It explains pressure in terms of the collision of gas particles against the walls of the container which it occupies.

The kinetic theory of gases is based on three main postulates:

1) The collision between gas particles is elastic i.e. no energy is lost or gained

2) The gas particles are treated as point masses i.e. the volume occupied by the gas particles is negligible when compared to the volume of the container

3) There are no attractive or repulsive forces between particles.
