(b) difference between metalloids and alloys​

Chemistry
2 answers:
Alisiya [41]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Metalloid: It is actually any chemical element which have the properties just like the mixture properties of metal and non metal. Or Which contain those properties in between the non metal and metal.Mostly the metalloids have the appearance just like the metallic appearance  And also they are the brittle one's .  Boron and silicon are the example.

Alloy: They are usually the mixture of metals. Some times mixture of metal may contain another element .They are recognized by their metallic bonding characteristics.

Explanation: By combining with other metals metalloid can form the alloy.

Answer:

<u>Metalloid -</u>

A metalloid is a chemical element with properties intermediate between those of typical metals and nonmetals

<u>Alloy</u> -

An alloy is a mixture of metals or a mixture of a metal and another element. Alloys are defined by a metallic bonding character.

2 H2O2(aq) ----&gt; 2 H2O(l) + O2(g) in the presence of I-(aq) is proposed to be: Step 1 (slow): H2O2 + I- -----&gt; H2O + OI- S
andrezito [222]

Answer:

Molecularity of the rate determining step = 2

Explanation:

Step 1 (slow): H₂O₂ + I⁻ -----> H₂O + OI⁻

Step 2 (fast): H₂O₂ + OI⁻ -----> H₂O + O₂ + I⁻

The rate determining step in a reaction mechanism is also considered as slowest step.

Slowest step is also considered its highest activation energy in energy profile diagram.

In this case intermediate  (IO⁻) is formed.

Step 1 considered as a slowest step.

So,  Rate = K [H₂O₂][I⁻]

  Molecularity = 2

Choose the covalent compounds from the following choices Br2 MgS SO2 KF
Novosadov [1.4K]

Types of Bonds can be predicted by calculating the difference in electronegativity.

If, Electronegativity difference is,

 

                Less than 0.4 then it is Non Polar Covalent Bond

                

                Between 0.4 and 1.7 then it is Polar Covalent Bond

            

                Greater than 1.7 then it is Ionic

 

For Br₂;

                    E.N of Bromine      =   2.96

                    E.N of Bromine      =   2.96

                                                   ________

                    E.N Difference             0.00          (Non Polar Covalent Bond)


For MgS;

                    E.N of Sulfur               =   2.58

                    E.N of Magnesium      =   1.31

                                                   ________

                    E.N Difference                  1.27          (Ionic Bond)


For SO₂;

                    E.N of Oxygen      =   3.44

                    E.N of Sulfur          =   2.58

                                                   ________

                    E.N Difference             0.86          (Polar Covalent Bond)


For KF;

                    E.N of Fluorine          =   3.98

                    E.N of Potassium      =   0.82

                                                   ________

                    E.N Difference                3.16          (Ionic Bond)

Result: The Bonds in Br₂ and SO₂ are Covalent in Nature.

Which type of bond is present in hydrogen sulfide (H2S)? The table of electronegativities is given
LuckyWell [14K]

Bonds formed between atoms can be classified as ionic and covalent

Ionic bonds are formed between atoms that have a high difference in the electronegativity values.

In contrast, bonds formed between atoms that have a difference in electronegativity lower than the ionic counterparts are polar covalent bonds.  If the atoms have very similar electronegativities, they form non-polar covalent bonds.

In H2S, the S atom is bonded to 2 H atoms. The electronegativity of H = 2.2 and S= 2.56. Since the difference is not high the bond formed will be covalent (polar covalent).

Based on the kinetic molecular theory, which of the following statements is correct about a sample of gas at a constant temperat
Scilla [17]

Answer:

C) It has a constant average kinetic energy

Explanation:

The average kinetic energy of the particles in a gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas, according to the equation.

k is the Boltzmann's constant

T is the absolute temperature of the gas

Therefore, temperature of a gas is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles.

In this problem, we are told that the gas is at constant temperature (and volume): therefore, according to the previous equation, this means that the average kinetic energy is also constant.

In which layer of the ocean do surface currents flow?
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

ooh sorry, but will this help you now:

Ocean dynamics define and describe the motion of water within the oceans. Ocean temperature and motion fields can be separated into three distinct layers: mixed (surface) layer, upper ocean (above the thermocline), and deep ocean. Ocean currents are measured in sverdrup (sv), where 1 sv is equivalent to a volume flow rate of 1,000,000 m (35,000,000 cu ft) per second.

Surface currents, which make up only 8% of all water in the ocean, are generally restricted to the upper 4…

Explanation:

Hope this helps :)
