What's the problem ? Hardness is not the definition of a metal.
You need to expand your thinking. EVERY element is solid, liquid, and gas, over different ranges of temperature ... including all of the metals. There are only TWO elements that are liquid AT ROOM TEMPERATURE, and mercury is one of them. But on a mild day at the south pole, mercury is solid too.
Answer:
- Question 19: the three are molecular compounds.
Explanation:
<em>Question 19.</em>
All of them are the combination of two kinds of different atoms in fixed proportions.
- C₂H₄: two carbon atoms per four hydrogen atoms
- HF: one hydrogen atom per one fluorine atom
- H₂O₂: two hydrogen atoms per two oxygent atoms
Thus, they all meet the definition of compund: a pure substance formed by two or more different elements with a definite composition.
Molecular compounds are formed by covalent bonds and ionic compounds are formed by ionic bonds.
Two non-metal elements, like H-F, C - C, C - H, H-O, H - H, and O - O will share electrons forming covalent bonds to complete their valence shell. Thus, the three compounds are molecular and not ionic.
<em>Question 20. </em>Formula of copper(II) sulfate hydrate with 36.0% water.
Copper(II) sulfate is CuSO₄. Its molar mass is 159.609g/mol
Water is H₂O. Its molar mass is 18.015g/mol
Calling x the number of water molecules in the hydrate, the percentage of water is:

From which we can solve for x:

Thus, there are 5 molecules of water per each unit of CuSO₄, and the formula is:
Answer:
Dominant genes are always represented by a capital letter which in this case is the letter B whereas recessive genes will be represented by a lower case letter like b.
You only need one copy of a dominant gene or allele to inherit it. A dominant allele is always expressed even if only one copy is present.
But you need two copies of genes or alleles to inherit the recessive gene. There also can't be a dominant allele of the gene if you are to inherit this.
Allele - Different forms of a gene
Answer:
The four resonance structures of the phenoxide ion are shown in the image attached
The conjugate base of cyclohexanol has only one resonance contributor, while
the conjugate base of phenol has four resonance contributors.
Explanation:
In organic chemistry, it is known that structures are more stable if they possess more resonance contributors. The greater the number of contributing canonical structures, the more stable the organic specie. Since the phenoxide ion has four contributing canonical structures, it is quite much more stable than cyclohexanol having only one contributing structure to its conjugate base. Hence the PKa(acid dissociation constant) of phenol is lesser than that of cyclohexanol. The conjugate base of phenol is stabilized by resonance.
since the unit for the heat of fusion is kJ/mol, you're going to have to convert the grams into moles in order to cancel out the unit. After that, you can solve like normal.
