(E) ionic aluminum fluoride (AlF3)
Answer:
Physical properties can be observed, described, and measured without changing the material. ... To find the volume of a solid, pour liquid in a graduated cylinder and let a solid object sink in the liquid and measure how much volume is in the solid
The noble gases are relatively unreactive because they have a stable octet of valence electrons.
Thus, they do not tend to undergo reactions in which they will gain or lose valence electrons,
However, <em>only He, Ne, and Ar are inert</em>. Kr and Xe combine with other highly reactive elements to form stable compounds.
Answer:
electronegativity of bonded atoms and shape.
Explanation:
if the shape of molecule is symmetric it will non polar. The polar molecules are trigonal in shape.
Sodium chloride is ionic compound. The electronegativity of chlorine is 3.16 and for sodium is 0.93. There is large difference is present. That's why electron from sodium is transfer to the chlorine. Sodium becomes positive and chlorine becomes negative ion and compound is polar.
Covalent bond:
It is formed by the sharing of electron pair between bonded atoms.
The atom with larger electronegativity attract the electron pair more towards it self and becomes partial negative while the other atom becomes partial positive and compound will polar.
For example:
In water the electronegativity of oxygen is 3.44 and hydrogen is 2.2. That's why electron pair attracted more towards oxygen, thus oxygen becomes partial negative and hydrogen becomes partial positive.
Answer:
Metalloid, in chemistry, an imprecise term used to describe a chemical element that forms a simple substance having properties intermediate between those of a typical metal and a typical nonmetal.
Metalloids usually look like metals but behave largely like nonmetals. Physically, they are shiny, brittle solids with intermediate to relatively good electrical conductivity and the electronic band structure of a semimetal or semiconductor.
