Which properties are characteristic of metalloids?

a. high electrical conductivity and a high melting point
b. low electrical conductivity and a low melting point
c. intermediate conductivity and a high melting point
d. intermediate conductivity and a low melting point

The right option is (C) intermediate conductivity and a high melting point

Metalloids usually look like metals but behave largely like nonmetals. Metalloids are shiny, brittle solids with intermediate good electrical conductivity. Their properties lie between metals and non metals. All metalloids exist as solids at room temperature and they have very high melting points. The physical properties of metalloids are more likely to be metallic, but their chemical properties tend to be non-metallic

Yes the answer is C.) intermediate conductivity and a high melting point

Explanation:

I just took the test and got 100%

- decrease the number of plants and animals living in the water.

1. for the first question, we must find the mass of the anhydrous salt, mgso₄. the molar mass for mgso₄·7h₂o is 246.47 g/mol, while that of mgso₄ is 120.37 g/mol.7.834 g mgso₄·7h₂o * 1 mol mgso₄·7h₂o/246.47 g * 1 mol mgso₄/1 mol mgso₄·7h₂o * 20.37 g mgso₄/mol = 0.647 g mgso₄

2. mass of water = mass of sample - mass of anhydrous salemass of water = 7.834 - 0.647 = 7.19 gpercent water in hydrate = 7.19/7.834 * 100 = 91.74%
