Which element would you expect to be more metallic? (a) S or Cl (b) In or Al (c) As or Br

Chemistry
1 answer:
Natalija [7]3 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

When we move across a period from left to right then there will occur an increase in electronegativity and also there will occur an increase in non-metallic character of the elements.

As sulfur (S) is a group 16 element and chlorine (Cl) is a group 17 element. Hence, sulfur (S) is more metallic in nature than chlorine.

This means that chlorine (S) is less metallic than chlorine (Cl).

Both indium (I) and aluminium (Al) are group 13 elements. And, when we move down a group then there occur an increase in non-metallic character of the elements. As indium belongs to group 13 and period 5 whereas aluminium belongs to group 13 and period 3.

Therefore, aluminium (Al) is more metallic than indium (In).

Arsenic (Ar) is a group 15 element and bromine (Br) is a group 17 element. Therefore, arsenic is more metallic than bromine.

Which of the following statements best compares the pH value of H3PO4 and HCl?
wel

Answer:

Option B. Both have a pH less than 7, but H3PO4 has a lower pH than HCl

Explanation:

Those are acid, so the pH would be < 7.

H₃PO₄ is a weak acid with 3 dissociations

HCl is a strong acid.

pH depends on [H]⁺

H₃PO₄  →  3H⁺  +  PO₄⁻³

HCl →  H⁺  +  Cl⁻

If both acid, have the same concentration, [H⁺]H₃PO₄ > [H⁺]HCl, that's why the pH from the phosphoric will be lower.

A scientist finds that a sample of matter contains three types of atoms. The sample can be any of the following, except:
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

The correct answer is C. element

Explanation:

The sample cannot be an element because an element - or <em>elemental substance</em> - cannot be decomposed into simpler substances. Thus, it cannot be composed by differents types of atoms. For example, an element is carbon (C).

As the sample contains <u>three types of atoms</u>, it can be a compound, a molecule or a mixture, because they can be composed by different types of atoms - of different chemical elements. For example, the sample could contain the element carbon (C) combined with other elements, for example oxygen (O) or hydrogen (H), amoing others.

Why do atoms gain or lose electrons?
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:kapil

Explanation:

Atoms lose electrons, if an electron gets more energy than then binding energy of the electron. This may be because of a collision with a charged particle or because of absorbtion of a photon. In a metal, there are just other positive charges nearby. The electron is not lost, but shared.
