odd man out
& Justify.
Scandium Titanium Gallium
Germanium.
Answers
Answer: Gallium is the odds one!!
Step-by-step explanation:
There are two possible answers to this question:
(1st)
The odd one among the following is Germanium.
- The elements Scandium, Titanium and Gallium all are metals.
- While Germanium is a Metalloid (or Semi metal or Semiconductor).
- It shows properties intermediate of metals and non- metals.
- Hence, it is the odd one among the following given options.
- It is the most accurate answer with respect to chemical behaviour.
(2nd)
Based on the physical properties, the odd one is Gallium.
- Scandium, Titanium and Germanium are all solids at room temperature.
- They have very high melting point.
- But the metal Gallium has very low melting point and hence it is liquid at room temperature.
- So, with respect to physical state, the odd one is Gallium.
