Question

An element has a melting point of 120°C and it is non-conductor of electricity. Based on this information, predict three other properties of this element.

Answer 1

Answer:

must be a non metal

Explanation:

non lustrous = does not shine

electronegativity = gain or combine rather than losing electron

acidic=from a acid or a neutral substance when it from oxide

Answer 2

The melting point of an element is 120°C, and it is a non-conductor of electricity. Three further properties of this element may be deduced from this information are:-

1. IT MUST BE NON-METAL.

2. NON-LUSTROUS = devoid of shine

3.  ACIDIC OR NEUTRAL

EXPLANATION:

• Pure, crystalline solids have a melting point, or the temperature at which the solid melts to produce a liquid. Because the transition between solid and liquid is so sudden, melting temperatures for minuscule samples of pure substances may be calculated to 0.1°C.

• Because it is difficult to heat materials beyond their melting points and because crystalline solids melt over a comparatively narrow temperature range, melting points are commonly used to assist identify compounds. 

• A nonconductor is a substance that only transfers a little quantity of heat, electricity, or sound. A substance that does not conduct or convey a certain sort of energy. As a result, wool is a heat conductor, but glass and dry wood are not electrical conductors.

• As a result, wool is a heat conductor, but glass and dry wood are not electrical conductors. Lead and zinc are examples of non-lustrous metals. Non-metals don't have a gleam. They don't have a light-reflective surface. Non-metals have a dull appearance.
