Concept introduction:
Non-metals all are gases at
Most lack a metallic luster
Relatively high ionization energies.
Relatively high electronegative.

The location of main group non-metals in the periodic table are shown using violet colored boxes in the above given figure 5.
(f)
Interpretation:
The semimetals elements on the periodic table has to be located.
Concept introduction:
Carbon is a non-metal, silicon and germanium are semimetals, and tin and lead are metals. The horizontal and vertical periodic trends combine to locate the element with the most metallic character in the lower left of the periodic table, the element with the most non-metallic character in the upper right, and the semimetals along the diagonal stair step that stretches across the middle.

- (a) Mention the optimum conditions for the industrial manufacture of ammonia by Haber’s process. (b) Explain the following giving appropriate reasons: (i) Sulphur vapour exhibits paramagnetic behaviour: (ii) Red phosphorus is less reactive than white phosphorusarrow_forwardThe prefix eka- comes from the Sanskrit word for “one.”Mendeleev used this prefix to indicate that the unknownelement was one place away from the known element thatfollowed the prefix. For example, eka-silicon, which we nowcall germanium, is one element below silicon. Mendeleevalso predicted the existence of eka-manganese, which was notexperimentally confirmed until 1937 because this element isradioactive and does not occur in nature. Based on the periodictable shown in Figure 7.1, what do we now call the elementMendeleev called eka-manganese?arrow_forwardState reasons for the following observations: (i) The enthalpies of atomisation of transition elements are quite high. (ii) There is a greater horizontal similarity in the properties of the transition elements than of the main group elements.arrow_forward
