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: a magnet force changes the compass movement
Explanation:
Answer:
Aldehyde and ketone both react with alcohols (2 equivalent) in the presence of acid catalyst to give acetals.
Explanation:
Alcohols are poor nucleophiles and so protonation of the carbonyl oxygen used to make the carbonyl carbon a stronger electrophile. Addition of the first equivalent of alcohols gives a hemiacetal,
Addition of the second equivalent of alcohol is accompanied by loss of one molecule water to yield the produce acetal.
