Answer:
fluorine
Explanation:
I used the number of electrons to determine it.
<h2>Answer:</h2>
<u>The right option is</u><u> (C) intermediate conductivity and a high melting point</u>
<h2>Explanation:</h2>
Metalloids usually look like metals but behave largely like nonmetals. Metalloids are shiny, brittle solids with intermediate good electrical conductivity. Their properties lie between metals and non metals. All metalloids exist as solids at room temperature and they have very high melting points. The physical properties of metalloids are more likely to be metallic, but their chemical properties tend to be non-metallic
Generally (but far from universally), the elements within a group have similar characteristics. Antimony, nitrogen, and arsenic are all part of the same group as phosphorous (the pnictogens, or group 5A). Oxygen is not in this group, but rather in an adjacent group (the chalcogens, or group 6A). Thus, the answer here should be oxygen.
That said, there can be very significant differences in characteristics among the elements within a group, and that is certainly the case here. For example, free nitrogen exists predominantly as a molecular gas (N₂) and makes up about 78% of the atmosphere we breathe. Elemental arsenic (As), while in the same group as nitrogen, is naturally found in the solid state and is poisonous to humans (arsenic is sometimes included among the toxic heavy metals, although it’s technically a metalloid).
