Explanation:

Metals and non-metals can be identified either by their position in the periodic table or by their properties.

he metal elements are found on the left hand side of the periodic table, and the non-metal elements are found on the right. You can imagine a zig-zag line, starting at B-Al-Si, separating metals from non-metals.

What would you predict to be the valence number and oxidation number of tin?
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

Tin exists in two oxidation states, +4 and +2. Elemental tin is readily oxidized to the dipositive ion in acidic solution, but this Sn2+ ion is converted to the Sn4+ ion by many mild oxidizing agents, including elemental oxygen. Oxidation under alkaline conditions normally gives the tetrapositive (Sn4+) state.

What is the wavelength of an X-ray that has a frequency of 7.8 x 1017 Hz
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

λ = 0.38 ×10⁻⁹ m

Explanation:

Given data:

Wavelength of xray = ?

Frequency of xray = 7.8 ×10¹⁷ Hz

Solution:

Formula:

Speed of light = wavelength × frequency

speed of light = 3×10⁸ m/s

Now we will put the values in formula.

3×10⁸ m/s = λ × 7.8 ×10¹⁷ Hz

λ = 3×10⁸ m/s / 7.8 ×10¹⁷ Hz

         Hz = s⁻¹

λ = 3×10⁸ m/s / 7.8 ×10¹⁷s⁻¹

λ = 0.38 ×10⁻⁹ m

For the skeletal chemical equation BF3(g) + NaH(s) → B2H6(g) + NaF(s) what is the coefficient of B2H6 in the balanced equation?
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

Coefficient in front of the B_2H_6  in the balanced equation - 1

Explanation:

The unbalanced Chemical equation is shown below as:-

BF_3+NaH\rightarrow B_2H_6+NaF

On the left hand side,  

There are 1 boron atom and 3 fluorine atoms and 1 sodium and hydrogen atoms.

On the right hand side,  

There are 2 boron atoms and 6 hydrogen atoms and 1 sodium and fluorine atoms.

Thus,  

leftside, BF_3 must be multiplied by 2 to balance boron and right side, NaF must be multiplied by 6 to balance fluorine. Left side, NaH must be multiplied by 6 to balance sodium and hydrogen atoms.

Thus, the balanced reaction is:-

2BF_3+6NaH\rightarrow B_2H_6+6NaF

<u>Coefficient in front of the B_2H_6  in the balanced equation - 1</u>

The by-product of the chlorination of an alkane is​
Elanso [62]

The by-product of the chlorination of an alkane is​  <u>HCl</u>

Explanation:

  • Chlorination is the process of adding chlorine to drinking water to disinfect it and kill germs. Different processes can be used to achieve safe levels of chlorine in drinking water.
  • Chlorination of alkane gives a mixture of different products.
  • When consider mechanism of alkanes chlorination, free radicals are formed during the reaction to keep the continuous reaction.
  • Different alkyl chloride compounds, extended carbon chains compounds and HCl are formed as products in product mixture.
  • Chlorination byproducts, their toxicodynamics and removal from drinking water.
  • Halogenated trihalomethanes (THMs) and haloacetic acids (HAAs) are two major classes of disinfection byproducts (DBPs) commonly found in waters disinfected with chlorine
  • Chlorine is available as compressed elemental gas, sodium hypochlorite solution (NaOCl) or solid calcium hypochlorite (Ca(OCl)2
