Answer:
A metalloid is a substance that has both the qualities of a metal and a non metal. Metals conduct electricity and have a high melting point.The element described does not conduct electricity until temperatures are reduced therefore it is not a metal. The fact that conduction occurs when temperatures are reduced means that it is not a non metal because non metals do not conduct electricity at all. Therefore the element is a metaloid because it exhibits some properties of a metal and others of a non mental.

Explanation:
» The prediction is 98% correct because single displacement reaction type is highly possible.
This is because Fluorine has is more electronegative than Chlorine in Potassium Chloride. So, it strongly displaces Chlorine from the solution hence forming Chlorine gas.
» The 2% of wrong prediction maybe because of wrong reactant measurements following mole concept chemistry.
If you are asked the observation,
Observation » <u> </u><u>A</u><u> </u><u>green</u><u> </u><u>yellowish</u><u> </u><u>gas</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>formed</u><u>.</u>
This gas is Chlorine gas (Cl2)
Answer: definite proportions.
Explanation:
1) The definite proportions law states that compounds will always have the same kind of atoms (elements) in the same mass proportion (ratios).
2) For example, a molecule of water will alwys have the same mass ratio of hydrogen atoms to oxygen atoms. That is what permits to obtain the chemical formula of the water molecule as H₂O.
The mass of the two hydrogen atoms will be in a fixed ratio respect to the mass of the oxygen atoms.
Then, if you have one reactant in less proportion than the other, respect to the ratio stated by the chemical formula of water, the former will react completely (it is the limiting reactant) with the corresponding (proportional) mass of the later. Then there will be an excess of the later reactant which will not react (will remain unchanged).
The reactants can only react in the proportion defined by the chemical formulas of the final products.
Yes, anything with carbonate, hydrogen carbonate (bicarbonate) at the end is a carbonate.
Examples:NaHCO3 (Sodium hydrogen carbonate or Sodium bicarbonate)Na2CO3 (Sodium carbonate)
