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.

Why are scientific models important in the study of science?
telo118 [61]

Answer:

In science, amodel is a representation of an idea, an object or even a process or a system that is used to describe and explain phenomena that cannot be experienced directly. Models are central to what scientists do, both in their research as well as when communicating their explanations.

1. Explain why the cold water and hot water in Part 1 moved the way they did within the tub of
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

Cooling a substance causes molecules to slow down and get slightly closer together, occupying a smaller volume that results in an increase in density. Hot water is less dense and will float on room-temperature water. <u>Cold water is more dense and will sink in room-temperature water.</u>

A marble rolls off horizontally from the edge of table top 1.50 m above the floor. it strikes the floor 2.0 m from the base of t
GrogVix [38]

a. t=0.553 s

b. vox(horizontal speed) = 3.62 m/s

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

h = 1.5 m

x = 2 m

Required

a. time

b. vo=initial speed

Solution

Free fall motion

a. h = 1/2 gt²(vertical motion=h=voyt+1/2gt²⇒voy = 0)

\tt t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2h}{g} }

t = √2h/g

t = √2.1.5/9.8

t=0.553 s

b. x=vox.t(horizontal motion)

\tt x=v_{ox}\times t

vox=x/t

vox=2/0.553

vox=3.62 m/s
