Imagine a substance that is a red, shiny solid at room temperature, with a melting point of 115 °C. It is brittle and a poor conductor of heat. State whether this substance is a metal or a non-metal. Give a reason for your answer.

Explanation:

Metals and non-metals can be identified either by their position in the periodic table or by their properties.

he metal elements are found on the left hand side of the periodic table, and the non-metal elements are found on the right. You can imagine a zig-zag line, starting at B-Al-Si, separating metals from non-metals.

if the concentration of products is decreased, the equilibrium will shift toward the products). add an inert gas (one that is not involved in the reaction) to the constant-volume reaction mixture: this will increase the total pressure of the system, but will have no effect on the equilibrium condition.
