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.

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

The more polar bond is C-O.

Explanation:

The greater polarity is due to that the Oxygen atom is more electronegative than the Nitrogen atom, so the negativity of the molecule tends to be on that side.

Draw an ether that contains exactly five carbon atoms and only single bonds

Eddi Din [679]

<em>Answer:</em>

H3CH2COCH2CH2CH3

<em>Ether:</em>

Ether are organic compounds that contain ether functional group , in which oxygen atom is connected with two alkyl or aryl group.

They have general formula as follow

R---O---R or R'---O----R or R'---O---R'

while R = Alkyl

R' = Aryl

The element californium (cf) sells for $1000 per µg. assuming 6.02 x 1023 atoms of cf have a mass of 251 grams, how many atoms o

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:- $2.40*10^1^0atoms$

Solution:- It is a simple unit conversion problem. We could solve this using dimensional analysis.

We know that, 1 US dollar = 100 cents

1 cent = 1 US penny

So, 1 US dollar = 100 US pennies

$1g=10^6\mu g$

Let's make the set up starting with 1 penny as:

$1penny(\frac{$1}{100pennies})(\frac{1\mu g}{$1000})(\frac{1g}{10^6\mu g})(\frac{6.02*10^2^3atoms}{251g})$

= $2.40*10^1^0atoms$

Therefore, we can bye $2.40*10^1^0atoms$ of Cf in one US penny.

Which of the following best describes an empirical formula?

Monica [59]

Answer:

Option C :

a chemical formula that shows the relative number of each type of atom in a molecule, using the smallest possible ratio

Explanation:

Empirical Formula:

Empirical formula is the simplest ration of atoms in the molecule but not all numbers of atoms in a compound.

So,

Tha ration of the molecular formula should be divided by whole number to get the simplest ratio of molecule

For Example

C₂H₆O₂ Consist of Carbon (C), Hydrogen (H), and Oxygen (O)

Now

Look at the ratio of these three atoms in the compound

C : H : O

2 : 6 : 2

Divide the ratio by two to get simplest ratio

C : H : O

2/2 : 6/2 : 2/2

1 : 3 : 1

So for the empirical formula the simplest ratio of carbon to hydrogen to oxygen is 1:3:1

So the empirical formula will be

Empirical formula of C₂H₆O₂ = CH₃O

So, Option C is correct :

a chemical formula that shows the relative number of each type of atom in a molecule, using the smallest possible ratio
