Answer: Boron is the element which has properties of both metals and nonmetals.
Explanation:
Metals are defined as the elements which loose electrons to attain stable electronic configuration. They attain positive charge and form cation. Example: Zinc (Zn), Aluminium (Al) , copper (Cu)
Non-metals are defined as the elements which gain electrons to attain stable electronic configuration. They attain negative charge and form anion. Example: Chlorine (Cl) , Sulphur (S)
Metalloids are defined as the elements which show properties of both metals and non-metals. There are 7 metalloids in the periodic table. They are Boron (B) , Silicon (Si) , Germanium (Ge) , Arsenic (As) , Antimony (Sb), Tellurium (Te) and Polonium (Po).
Thus boron is the element which has properties of both metals and nonmetals.
Binders ; fillers. They are inert substances to hold pill shape and preserve the medication, its ph / etc.
Answer:
FALSE
Explanation:
Assuming that the gas is ideal
Therefore the gas obeys the ideal gas equation
<h3>Ideal gas equation is </h3><h3>P × V = n × R × T</h3>
where
P is the pressure exerted by the gas
V is the volume occupied by the gas
n is the number of moles of the gas
R is the ideal gas constant
T is the temperature of the gas
Here volume of the gas will be the volume of the container
Given the volume of the container and number of moles of the gas are constant
As R will also be constant, the pressure of the gas will be directly proportional to the temperature of the gas
P ∝ T
∴ Pressure will be directly proportional to the temperature
Answer:
The shape of the BF3 molecule is best described as trigonal planar.
Explanation:
The Lewis Structure for BF3 is like this:
_ _
| F | | F |
\ /
B
|
| F |
---
It forms three angles of 120° each. The bonds are in the same planar that's why it is trigonal planar and they are exactly the same.
Boron and Fluorine have 3 covalent bonds, produced by electronic promotion that enables the 2py and 2pz orbitals, leaving an electron to pair in the 2px. So boron will have 3 possible electrons to pair in 2s1, 2px and 2py, remember that electronic configuration for B is 1s2, 2s2, 2p1
By hybridization between the orbitals 2s2 and 2p1, the electrons of F, can joined to make the covalent bond. The new B configuration is 1s2, 2s1, 2px1, 2py1 (these last three, hybrid orbitals)
