A metalloid is a type of chemical element which has a preponderance of properties in between, or that are a mixture of, those of metals and nonmetals.
Answer:
Explanation:
The melting point of a substance is the temperature at which its melt. The state of a substance is dependent on it's melting temperature. Generally, melting point above 25 °C is a solid.
This means phenol is a solid
Duodecane has melting point below 25 °C hence it is either a liquid or gas. However its boiling point of 216 °C means it would require higher temperature to boil it. Since 25 °C is less than 216 °C it means that it would remain in the liquid state.
Methane has melting point below 25 °C hence it is either a liquid or gas. However its boiling point of -164 °C means it boils easily even at very low temperatures. Since 25 °C is greater than -164 °C it means that it would exist in the gaseous state
