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.

Answer:
The empirical formula is PCl3
Explanation:
Mass of P is 30.97 g, thus 1.523 g of P equivalent to 0.05 moles of P
Mass of Cl is 35.45 g, thus 5.228 g of Cl equivalent to 0.15 moles of Cl
Therefore moles of P : moles of Cl = 0.05:0.15 = 1:3
Therefore the empirical formula, PCl3
Answer:
3Mg(NO3)2(aq)+2Na3PO4(aq)⇒Mg3(PO4)2(s)+6NaNO3(aq)
Explanation:
Answer : The name of the given hydrocarbon is, pentane.
Explanation :
The basic rules for naming of organic compounds are :
- First select the longest possible carbon chain.
- For the number of carbon atom, we add prefix as 'meth' for 1, 'eth' for 2, 'prop' for 3, 'but' for 4, 'pent' for 5, 'hex' for 6, 'sept' for 7, 'oct' for 8, 'nona' for 9 and 'deca' for 10.
- A suffix '-ane' is added at the end of the name of alkane.
- If two of more similar alkyl groups are present, then the words 'di', 'tri' 'tetra' and so on are used to specify the number of times these alkyl groups appear in the chain.
In the given hydrocarbon, the longest possible carbon chain number is 5 that means we add prefix 'pent' and suffix '-ane'. So, the name of given hydrocarbon will be, pentane.
Hence, the correct option is, pentane.
