Sodium is an earth-metal (group one), sliver and platinum are d-block metals.... Thus silicon is the metalloid and that is true because it looks like a metal being shiny blue-gray but it exhibit non-metal characteristics, except the fact that it can conduct electricity in a heated state.
The alkali metals can't exist alone in nature because of incomplete outermost shell of alkali metals.
<h3>What are the properties of alkali metals?</h3>
The alkali metals have the high thermal and electrical conductivity. It has high lustre, ductility, and malleability as compared to other materials. Each alkali metal atom has one electron in its outermost shell which make more reactive.
So we can conclude that the alkali metals can't exist alone in nature because of incomplete outermost shell of alkali metals.

Answer:
Hence the evaporation rate in pints per minute is 0.001583.
Explanation:
Now,
1.5 gallons of paint are used.
It has 5% solid, so total 95% of 1.5 gallon can evaporate(only the solvent part will evaporate).
95% of 1.5 gallon=(95/100)*1.5 = 1.425 gallons.
1gallon = 8 pints.
So 1.425 gallons=8*1.425 pints
=11.4 pints.
Evaporation requires 2 hours. That is 3600*2 seconds = 7200 seconds.
So evaporation rate= 11.4 pints/7200 seconds.
=0.001583 pints per second
