Answer:
Explanation:
Just saw your request regarding answering this so here it is:
All of them belong of Group 1 in periodic table and thus are highly reactive! Pattern of reactivity for Group 1 (Alkali metals) increases as you move down the group as their radius keeps increasing and thus electrons can be easily lost. Thus, to ID the lumps, Sheena should look at their reactivity and she should get the following trend:
Most reactive: Potassium (K)
Intermediate: Sodium (Na)
Least reactive: Lithium (Li)
Hope it helps!
Answer:
Carbon
Explanation:
Carbon has four electrons in its valence shell, so it generally shares it in a covalent bond. This element needs four electrons to be stable, so it can form single (such as the bond with hydrogen), double (such as the bond with oxygen) or triple bonds (such as the bond with nitrogen).
It can also form bonds with other carbon, and they can form longs chains, that's why there are a lot of organic compounds (the compounds with carbon). Carbon can form rings too, such as in benzene.
Answer: The bond between boron and hydrogen in boron trihydride is covalent bond.
Explanation:
The type of bonding between the atoms forming a compound is determined by using the electronegativity difference between the atoms. According to the pauling's electronegativity rule:
- If
, then the bond is non-polar. - If
, then the bond will be covalent. - If
, then the bond will be ionic.
We are given:
Electronegativity for boron = 2.0
Electronegativity for hydrogen = 2.1
As, 
is less than 1.7 and not equal to 0. Hence, the bond between boron and hydrogen is covalent bond.
The average weight of an adult male is 750 newtons. In computing for weight in newtons. W = ma; where m = weight in kilograms and a = acceleration due to gravity which is equal to 9.81 m/sec2.
Answer:
I assume you mean as in elements
A metal "A metal is a material that, when freshly prepared, polished, or fractured, shows a lustrous appearance, and conducts electricity and heat relatively well. Metals are typically malleable or ductile." (wiki)
a non-metal "In chemistry, a nonmetal is a chemical element that mostly lacks the characteristics of a metal. Physically, a nonmetal tends to have a relatively low melting point, boiling point, and density. A nonmetal is typically brittle when solid and usually has poor thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity." (wiki)
