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.

For ethanol, propanol, and n-butanol the boiling points, surface tensions, and viscosities all increase. what is the reason for
Contact [7]
Moving from Ethanol through Propanol to Butanol the physical properties like boiling points, surface tension and viscosity increases because of the increases in intermolecular interactions between the molecules of given compounds.

Explanation:
                   Ethanol, propanol and butanol all have hydroxyl groups in common, means all have hydrogen bond intractions between their molecules. So, taking the hydrogen bonding interaction constant we are left with only the difference in the number of carbon atoms.
                    Butanol has the greatest physical properties than other two because it has four carbon atom chain. So, as we know the London Dispersion forces or Van der Waal forces increases with increase in molecular size and chain length of hydrocarbon.
                    Therefore, the strength of London forces is greater in butanol than other two while ethanol has the smallest chain comparatively hence, lowest physical properties.

Distinguish between deliquescence and efflorescence. ​
netineya [11]

Explanation:

Deliquescent substances are solids that absorb moisture from the atmosphere until they dissolve in the absorbed water and form solutions. Efflorescent: Efflorescent substances are solids that can undergo spontaneous loss of water from hydrated salts.
