Answer:

1. Both metals and nonmetals are types of elements and can be involved in chemical reactions. Some of their differences are highlighted in the chart below.

  Metals:    

Appearance; Shiny.    

Conduct heat or electricity; Yes.  

Malleable or ductile; Yes, both and has great mechanical strength.    

Form stable compounds; Forms stable compounds with acids; also forms oxides; replaces hydrogen in acids or water; combine with nonmetals; often becomes positive.

  Nonmetals :  

Appearance; Not shiny .  

Conduct heat or electricity; Not well .  

Malleable or ductile; Brittle and not easily molded into shapes .  

Form stable compounds; Oxides usually give acid reactions in water; often becomes negative

2. The electrochemical series is an arrangement of metals in such order that any metal in the list is displaced from its compounds by any metal above it, but displaces any metal below it. The higher up the list a metal is, the greater its activity. Knowing a metal’s placement on this chart can help you understand the activity of the metal, especially in regard to its ability to displace hydrogen in acids. Any items on the list far above hydrogen will do a good job at displacing it, those near it won’t do such a good job, and those below it won’t displace it from acids at all.

3. When placed in water, acids dissociate and form free hydrogen ions, which determine the properties of acids. The number of hydrogen ions determines the strength of an acid. Strong acids dissociate to a large degree and produce a large number of hydrogen ions. Weak acids dissociate to only a slight degree.

When placed in water, bases dissociate and form free hydroxyl ions, which determine the properties of bases. Strong bases dissociate to a great degree and produce a large number of hydroxyl ions. Weak bases dissociate to only a slight degree.

When free hydrogen ions and free hydroxyl ions are removed from solutions of acids and bases, then the acidic and basic properties disappear. This is what happens when acids and bases are mixed together in proper proportion; the hydroxyl ion will unite with the hydrogen ion to form water. The resulting salt product is neutral.

4. Indicators are used to help determine the pH value of an unknown solution. These are often papers that turn a certain color at certain pH values.

Answer:

1.Metals

These are very hard except sodium

These are malleable and ductile  pieces

These are shiny

Electropositive in nature

Non-metals

These are soft except diamond

These are brittle and can break down into pieces

These are non-lustrous except iodine

Electronegative in nature

2. The electrochemical series helps to pick out substances that are good oxidizing agents and those which are good reducing agents.In an electrochemical series the species which are placed above hydrogen are more difficult to be reduced and their standard reduction potential values are negative.

3. Arrhenius theory, theory, introduced in 1887 by the Swedish scientist Svante Arrhenius, that acids are substances that dissociate in water to yield electrically charged atoms or molecules, called ions, one of which is a hydrogen ion (H+), and that bases ionize in water to yield hydroxide ions (OH−).

4. The common application of indicators is the detection of end points of titrations. The colour of an indicator alters when the acidity or the oxidizing strength of the solution, or the concentration of a certain chemical species, reaches a critical range of values.

The molar mass of an element is the mass of one
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

  • <em>The molar mass of an element is the mass of </em><u>one mole of atoms of the element.</u>

Explanation:

<em>The molar mass of an element </em>is its atomic mass, i.e.  the mass in grams of one mole of atoms of the element.

Remember 1 mol is approximately 6.022 × 10²³.

So, 1 mol of atoms is 6.022 × 10²³ atoms.

The molar mass is an average: it is the weighted average mass of the natural isotopes of the element, taking into account their relative abundance.

For example, the molar mass or atomic mass of carbon is 12,0107 g/mol, instead of 12.0000, becasue carbon exists in several forms (isotopes), and so the weighted average is not a whole number.

Yasmin's teacher tells her that the solubility of salt is 360 g/L at room temperature (25 °C). How can Yasmin make an unsaturate
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

By adding less amount or quantity of the salt (solute), than the medium (solvent) can dissolve at a particular temperature that is to make an unsaturated solution at room temperature, Yasmin should add less than 360 g of salt to one liter of the solvent

Explanation:

An unsaturated solution is one that consists of less than the maximum mass or quantity of the solute that it is capable of dissolving.
