Nonmetals is most likely the answer
Answer:
Group 8 elements are inert and possess :
1. Low Boiling Points
2. High ionization energies
3. Electronegativities is very low
4. No color, odor
Explanation:
Group 8 elements are also called as Noble Gases. They are unreactive.
They have low boiling points means they remains monoatomic at room temperature. Having high ionization energy means that it is very difficult to remove an electron from its valence shell.
We are given with the equilibrium constant of acid, HF and is asked to calculate the pH of 0.30 M NaF solution. The formula to be followed is
Ka = [H+][F-]/[HF]Ka = 7.2 x 10 -4 = x^2/[0.3-x]x = [H+]= pH = -log (H+) = 1.84
