Answer:
A. Metalloid
E. Has similar properties as Ge
F. Belongs to Period 3
Explanation:
Silicon is the 14th element on the periodic table. Its unit is SI. Its properties straddles between those of metals and non-metals and it is described as a non-metal.
It's atomic weight or mass number is 28u. It has an atomic number of 14 i.e in its neutral state, the number of protons and electrons are equal to 14.
Silicon belongs to the 4th group and the 3rd period on the periodic table. Elements in the same group share similar chemical properties. The elements in Si group are: C, Ge, Sn and Pb. The properties of Si is similar to these elements because they all have a valency of 4. Across the period, the properties varies this is why Si would have a very different property from Al and P.
your answer is A if i am wrong let me know
Answer:
solvents dissolve in liquids
Explanation:
Thomson's suggested the plum pudding model of the atom in which the atomic space is made up of electrons surround by positive charges.
Rutherford in his gold foil experiment revised the plum pudding model of the atom;
- He discovered that most of the alpha particles passed through the foil while a few of them were deflected back.
- To explain this observation, he suggested the atomic model of the atom.
- In this model, an atom is made up of a small positively charged center where nearly all the mass is concentrated.
- Surrounding the nucleus is the extranuclear part made up of electrons.
