A 2 gram Magnesium (Mg) ribbon is burnt in air . The burnt ribbon is collected and weighed. Would it be greater than 2 grams or lesser?
Metals are elements that are typically solid at room temperature, have high electrical and thermal conductivity, and are shiny in appearance. Non-metals, on the other hand, are elements that are typically gases or solids at room temperature, have low electrical and thermal conductivity, and are not shiny in appearance.
Rusting is a chemical reaction that occurs when iron or steel comes into contact with oxygen and water. This reaction produces a new compound, iron oxide, which is known as rust. Rusting occurs because metals are unstable in their natural state and tend to react with other elements in their environment.
Metals have a wide range of uses in everyday life, such as in construction, transportation, electronics, and medicine. Non-metals also have important uses, such as in plastics, fertilizers, and fuels. Both metals and non-metals are essential for modern life and play a crucial role in various industries.
Yes, metals and non-metals can react with each other to form compounds. These compounds are known as ionic compounds and are formed through the transfer of electrons from the metal to the non-metal. This type of reaction is called an ionic bond and results in the formation of a stable compound.
Some common properties of metals include high melting and boiling points, malleability, ductility, and conductivity. Non-metals, on the other hand, tend to have lower melting and boiling points, are brittle, and have poor electrical and thermal conductivity. However, there are exceptions to these properties and some elements may exhibit characteristics of both metals and non-metals.
