Answer:
The atomic number of Selenium is 34. This means that Selenium possesses 34 electrons.
The atomic number of Aluminium is 13. This means that Aluminium has 13 electrons.
Hence, there is a difference of 21 between the number of electrons in an atom of selenium and the number of electrons in an atom of aluminium.
Selenium has 6 electrons in it's outer most shell whereas aluminium has 3 electrons in its outer most shell. As a result, aluminium will have a greater tendency to lose one of its outer most electrons to become stable.
For equal moles of gas, temperature can be calculated from ideal gas equation as follows:
P×V=n×R×T ...... (1)
Initial volume, temperature and pressure of gas is 3.25 L, 297.5 K and 2.4 atm respectively.
2.4 atm ×3.25 L=n×R×297.5 K
Rearranging,
n\times R=0.0262 atm L/K
Similarly at final pressure and volume from equation (1),
1.5 atm ×4.25 L=n×R×T
Putting the value of n×R in above equation,
1.5 atm ×4.25 L=0.0262 (atm L/K)×T
Thus, T=243.32 K
It’s really any metal because metals form metallic bonds. They are the only substances which can make metallic bonds. So the answer is A
