Traditionally they include boron from group 3A, silicon and germanium in group 4A, aresnic and antimony in group 5A and tellurium from group 6A, although sometimes selenium, astatine, polonium and even bismuth have also been considered as metalloids. Typically metalloids are brittle and show a semi-metallic luster.

The six commonly recognised metalloids are boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, and tellurium. Five elements are less frequently so classified: carbon, aluminium, selenium, polonium, and astatine.

Explain how low atomspheric oxygen levels affected alligators growth in terms of celluar respiration

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

Answer: Hyperoxic alligators show significantly lower breathing rates than their siblings in normoxic and hypoxic groups. Conversely, each breath supports greater oxygen consumption in hyperoxic animals than in other groups. Statistical significance between groups was calculated by ANOVA with post hoc Tukey-Kramer

Analyze: What pattern do you see? Make a rule: Based on your data, how are elements arranged into chemical families?

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer: in order of increasing atomic number.

Explanation: Elements in the same group have similar chemical properties. This is because they have the same number of outer electrons and the same valency.

29. Ammonia is formed with one nitrogen and three hydrogen atoms. What is the electron configuration of nitrogen? How

masya89 [10]

Answer:

One lone-Pair is present in Ammonia

Explanation:

The number of valence electron in N = 5

The number of Valence electron in H = 1

The formula of ammonia = NH3

Total valence electron in ammonia molecule = 5 +3(1) = 5+3 = 8

The lewis structure suggest that :

Nitrogen completes its octet by sharing the electron pair with 3 hydrogen atoms.

3 electron of Nitrogen are involved in sharing with Hydrogen

So, remaining two electron are left non-bonded . Hence they exist as lone- pair

So, there is only 1 lone pair in the ammonia molecule .

The shape of NH3 is bent according to VSEPR theory . This is so because the presence of 1 lone pair causes more repulsion and occupy more space.

Thus the lone pair is changing the shape of the ammonia molecule . It also increase the dipole moment of the molecule , which gives polarity to it.
