Concept explainers

The attractive force which has the ability of holding various constituent elements like atoms, ions, molecules, etc. together in different chemical species is termed as a chemical bond. Chemical compounds are dependent on the strength of chemical bonds b…

Polarizability In Organic Chemistry

Polarizability refers to the ability of an atom/molecule to distort the electron cloud of neighboring species towards itself and the process of distortion of electron cloud is known as polarization.

Coordinate Covalent Bonds

A coordinate covalent bond is also known as a dative bond, which is a type of covalent bond. It is formed between two atoms, where the two electrons required to form the bond come from the same atom resulting in a semi-polar bond. The study of coordinate…

Question

Chapter 7, Problem 127A

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The ways in which metals and nonmetals form ions needs to be compared.

Concept introduction:

Metals and Non-metals are two important classes of elements in the periodic table. Metals such as gold, silver are used for jewelry, copper is used for jewelry as well as for electrical equipment such as wiring and motors. Non-metals such as Nitrogen is used for preparation of fertilizers, Hydrogen is used as rocket fuel, Carbon in the form of graphite is used in pencils etc.

Expert Solution & Answer

Answer to Problem 127A

Metals are lustrous, ductile, malleable and they are good conductors of electricity. At room temperature, metals are solids except that of mercury which is liquid at room temperature. Metals are placed in Group 1 and 2 in the periodic table.

Non-metals has no metallic luster and are not shiny, they are neither malleable nor ductile and are poor conductors of electricity. Non-metals are placed in group 14-18 in the periodic table.

Explanation of Solution

There various differences between metals and non-metals. Metals are lustrous, ductile, malleable and they are good conductors of electricity. Metals are placed in group 1 and 2 of the periodic table which contains the most reactive metals. These metals have 1 valence electron. Whereas, Non-metals has no metallic luster and are not shiny, they are not malleable or ductile and are poor conductors of electricity. Non-metals are placed in Group 14-18 of the periodic table. Group 17 contains the most reactive non-metals. These non-metals have 7 valence electrons.

Metals in order to attain noble gas configuration, give away or lose electrons, while nonmetals in order to attain noble gas configuration gain electrons. This is why metals tends to form positive cations and non-metals tends to form negative anions.

Conclusion

Metals are lustrous, ductile, malleable and they are good conductors whereas, non-metals has no metallic luster and are not shiny, they are not malleable or ductile and are poor conductors of electricity.
