Concept Introduction:
Metals are elements that have characteristic properties of thermal conductivity, luster, electrical conductivity, and malleability. Except mercury, the physical state of all other metals is solids. They have very high melting points and high density.
Nonmetals are elements that are characterized by the absence of properties like thermal conductivity, luster, electrical conductivity, and malleability. Mostly nonmetals are gases. Only bromine is present as liquid in room temperature. The density of nonmetals is low and they have lower melting points than metals.
Metalloids are elements that possess both metallic and nonmetallic properties.

Chemical Principles: The Quest for Insight
- Assume that the radius of Earth is 6400 km, the crust is 50. km thick, the density of the crust is 3.5 g/cm3, and 25.7% of the crust is silicon by mass. Calculate the total mass of silicon in the crust of Earth.arrow_forwardGiven that the density of argon is 1.78 g/L under standard conditions of temperature and pressure, how many argon atoms are present in a room with dimensions 4.0 m 5.0 m 2.4 m that is filled with pure argon under these conditions of temperature and pressure?arrow_forwardWhat is the mass of fish, in kilograms, that one would have to consume to obtain a fatal dose of mercury, if the fish contains 30 parts per million of mercury by weight? (Assume that all the mercury from the fish ends up as mercury (II) chloride in the body and that a fatal dose is 0.20 g of HgCl2.) How many pounds of fish is this?arrow_forward
- Physiological saline concentration—that is, the sodium chloride concentration in our bodies—is approximately 0.16 M . A saline solution fur contact lenses is prepared to match the physiological concentration. If you purchase 25 mL of contact lens saline solution, how many grams of sodium chloride have you bought?arrow_forward3.117 For the oxides of iron, FeO, Fe2O3, and Fe3O4, describe how you would determine which has the greatest percentage by mass of oxygen.

(e) Identify the various types of geometries present in each central atom of aspartame using VSEPR theory. (f) Determine the various relative bond angles associated with each central atom of aspartame using VSEPR theory. (g) What is the most polar bond in aspartame? (h) Would you predict aspartame to be polar or nonpolar? (i) Is aspartame expected to possess resonance? Explain why or why not. (j) Consider the combustion of aspartame, which results in formation of NO2(g) as well as other expected products. Write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction. (k) Calculate the weight of C02(g) that can be prepared from 1.62 g of aspartame mixed with 2.11 g of oxygen gas.arrow_forward
