Answer: Option (D) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Metalloids are the substances that show properties of both metals and non-metals.

When it is considered that silicon is a metalloid then it means it also hows properties of both metals and non-metals. Therefore, like metals silicon is able to conduct electric current.

Whereas sulfur is a non-metal and it is known that non-metals do not conduct electric current.

Therefore, we can conclude that the statement silicon is a better conductor of electric current than sulfur is true.

In which layer(s) would a solid cube with 6 cm sides and mass of 270 g float? Explain.
DIA [1.3K]
The buoyancy of an object is dictated by its density. So let us calculate for density, where:density = mass / volume
Calculate the volume first of a solid cube:volume = (6 cm)^3 = 216 cm^3 = 216 mL
Therefore density is:density = 270 g / 216 mLdensity = 1.25 g / mL
Therefore this object will float in the layer in which the density is more than 1.25 g / mL.

Use the periodic table to select the element that best fits each of the following descriptions. which element below has properti
xenn [34]

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.

This may help you
<span>You need to use some stoichiometry here. The only way to do that is if you're working in moles. Since you're given grams of Al, you can convert that moles by dividing by the molar mass. Then from looking at the coefficients in your equation, you can see that for however many moles of Al react, the same numbers of moles of Fe will be produced, but only half as many moles of Al2O3 will be produced. To go back to grams, multiply the moles of each product that you get by their molar masses!</span>
