Answer:
They have properties of both metals and nonmetals
Explanation:
- Elements in the periodic table may be divided into Metals, non-metals, and metalloids.
- Metals are the elements that react by losing electrons to form stable positively charged ions known as cations. Examples are group 1, 2, and 3 elements together with transition elements.
- Non-metals are those elements that react by gaining electrons to form stable negatively charged ions called anions. Examples include oxygen, carbon, sulfur, etc.
- Metalloids, on the other hand, are elements that have both metallic and non-metallic properties.
- Metalloids occur between metals and non-metals in the periodic table. Examples include Boron and silicon among others.
Answer:
Explanation:
a) The forward reaction is exothermic, hence when temperature is increased the equilibrium shift towards the reactants side to get rid of the excess energy. This will mean that more reactants are produced decreasing yield
b) There are a fewer number of moles of gas on the right side compared to the left side (Just count the coefficients before each compound) so a higher pressure will mean that the equilibrium will shift towards the products side in order to decrease the pressure. This will mean that more products are formed increasing yield
c) When something is powdered it's surface area to volume ratio increases. A higher surface area means that the particles around it have more area to work on so the frequency of collisions will increase increasing the rate of reaction. This is why iron is powdered.
Answer:
nitrogen monoxide: NO
nitrogen dioxide: NO₂
Explanation:
Nitrogen monoxide is composed by 1 atom of O (prefix "mono-") and 1 atom of N. Nitrogen dioxide is composed by 2 atoms of O (prefix "di-") and 1 atom of N. As the oxigen atom in oxides has the valency -2 (it shares 2 electrons), the nitrogen has valency +2 in NO and +4 in NO₂.
