Hi There! :)
<span>Which elements in the periodic table are metalloids or have semimetallic properties?
</span><span>Boron, Silicon, Germanium, Arsenic, Antimony, and Polonium are all metalloids. Some people consider Astatine a metalloid</span>
We have to know which do not violet octet rule.
The central atom in SF₄ does not violate the octet rule. the central atom in CF₄ does not violate the octet rule.
As per octet rule, atoms can combine either by transfer of valence electrons from one atom to another or by sharing of valence electrons in order to have an octet in their valence shell.
The central atom S of SF₄ contains 8 electrons in the valence shell. Also, C atom of CF₄ contains 8 electrons in the valence shell.
ICl₄⁻ contains 9 electrons in the outermost shell.
The answer is C. Zn(s) + H2SO4(aq) ZnSO4(aq) + H2(g)
Metallic bonds are formed by the valence electrons from the s and p orbitals of the interacting metal atoms delocalizing.
