Answer:

The correct option is: <u>A. Se, Sb, Sn  </u>            

Explanation:

Malleability is the physical property of a chemical element, that allows it to change its shape or form thin sheets, when pressure or stress is applied.

It is a characteristic property of a metal. Mettaloids and non-metals are not malleable in nature, as they are brittle.

Since, Selenium (Se) is a non-metal, it is <u>non-malleable</u>.

Antimony (Sb) is a metalloid, it is <u>non-malleable.</u>

Tin (Sn) is a metal, it is <u>malleable.</u>

Therefore, <u>the increasing order of malleability </u>is: <u>A. Se, Sb, Sn</u><u>.</u>

The answer would be (B) Sb, Sn, Se.

The periodic table may look like a confusing checkerboard of elements, but they are categorized in more ways than you may know.

For malleability, we look for metals. Metals/metallic elements have characteristics like electrical conductivity, <u>malleability</u>, ductility, and other physical characteristics like luster. The more an element is metallic, the more of these characteristics it will have.

So to answer this question, you simply have to see what kind of elements these are:

Sb, 51 (Antimony): <em>Metalloid</em>

Sn, 50 (Tin): <em>Transition Metal</em>

Se, 34 (Selenium): <em>Non-Metal</em>

Therefore, Antimony will have more metal characteristics than the rest, putting it at the top. Selenium is a non-metal, so that goes at the bottom, and Tin will be second.

A sealed helium balloon with an internal pressure of 1.00 atm and a volume of 4.50 L at 293 K is moved. What volume will the bal
bixtya [17]

Answer:

6.48 L

Explanation:

From the question,

Applying

PV/T = P'V'/T'......................... Equation 1

P = initial pressure of the helium balloon, V =  Initial volume of the balloon, T = Initial temperature of the balloon, P' = Final pressure of the balloon, T' = Final temperature of the balloon, V' = Final volume of the balloon.

make V' the subject of the equation

V' = PVT'/P'T......................... Equation 2

Given: P = 1 atm, V = 4.5 L, T' = 253 K, T= 293 K, P' = 0.6 atm

Substitute these values into equation 2

V' = (4.5×1×253)/(0.6×293)

V' = 1138.5/175.8

V' = 6.48 L
