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.

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

Antacid Neutralises the acid in the stomach.

Light shining on a strip of metal can dislodge electrons. Do you think this is more consistent with light being made up of waves
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

The correct answer to the following question will be "Particles".

Explanation:

  • A particle seems to be a little component of something, it's little. When you're talking about a subatomic particle, that would be a structured user likely won't see because it's quite unbelievably thin, but it has a tiny mass as well as structural integrity. Such particles seem to be tinier than that of the particles or atoms.
  • Such that the light which shines on the bit of metal could dissipate electrons, the particles seem to be more compatible with the light.
