A cooling curve has two flat lines, or plateaus. What does the plateau at the higher temperature represent?

Answer:
It is in the state of "thermal arrest"
Explanation:
The temperature stays constant during the phase change process . This is because the matter has more internal energy and heat has to be taken away for the solidification process to begin. The energy that is required for a phase change is know as latent heat (which is the energy released or absorbed by a body during a thermodynamic process).

Number of neutrons=41, and it is metalloid
<h3>Further explanation</h3>Group 14⇒valence electron = 4(ns²np²)
Period 4⇒n=4
So electron configuration of the element :
1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 4s², 3d¹⁰, 4p² = 32 electron=atomic number
The element with atomic number 32, which is in period 4 and group 14 is Ge-Germanium
There are seven elements that can be classified as metalloids, namely boron (B), silicon (Si), germanium (Ge), arsenic (As), antimony (Sb), tellurium (Te), and polonium (Po).
While the mass number: 73
So the number of neutrons = mass number-atomic number
