Answer:
A metalloid is a substance that has both the qualities of a metal and a non metal. Metals conduct electricity and have a high melting point.The element described does not conduct electricity until temperatures are reduced therefore it is not a metal. The fact that conduction occurs when temperatures are reduced means that it is not a non metal because non metals do not conduct electricity at all. Therefore the element is a metaloid because it exhibits some properties of a metal and others of a non mental.

Answer:
Explanation:
If the reaction is really exothermic (and it is) then the water would spatter all over the place. It would boil off if the container could hold it. It would also react according to the following reaction.
You are talking about a reaction like
2K + 2HOH = 2KOH + H2
Answer:
k= 1.925×10^-4 s^-1
1.2 ×10^20 atoms/s
Explanation:
From the information provided;
t1/2=Half life= 1.00 hour or 3600 seconds
Then;
t1/2= 0.693/k
Where k= rate constant
k= 0.693/t1/2 = 0.693/3600
k= 1.925×10^-4 s^-1
Since 1 mole of the nuclide contains 6.02×10^23 atoms
Rate of decay= rate constant × number of atoms
Rate of decay = 1.925×10^-4 s^-1 ×6.02×10^23 atoms
Rate of decay= 1.2 ×10^20 atoms/s
