      Hello novi, i think metalloids is properties intermediate between the metals and nonmetals.
      The examples of metals are gold, copper, iron etc. and nonmetals are oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen etc. :)

      A polyatomic ion, also known as a molecular ion, is a charged chemical species (ion) composed of two or more atoms covalently bonded or of a metal complex that can be considered to be acting as a single unit. The prefix poly- means "many," in Greek, but even ions of two atoms are commonly referred to as polyatomic. In older literature, a polyatomic ion is also referred to as a radical, and less commonly, as a radical group. In contemporary usage, the term radical refers to free radicals that are (not necessarily charged) species with an unpaired electron

      melting point, temperature at which the solid and liquid forms of a pure substance can exist in equilibrium. As heat is applied to a solid, its temperature will increase until the melting point is reached. More heat then will convert the solid into a liquid with no temperature change. When all the solid has melted, additional heat will raise the temperature of the liquid. The melting temperature of crystalline solids is a characteristic figure and is used to identify pure compounds and elements. Most mixtures and amorphous solids melt over a range of temperatures

Chemistry Video: Endothermic and Exothermic Reactions

    Excited but bit confused, Sam and Julie run to their chemistry teacher. Sam asks, “Teacher, why did my flask turn cold after adding the salt to water, while Julie’s flask turned hot?” The teacher replies: “That’s because you were given two different salt. One of your salts generated an endothermic reaction with water, while the other salt generated an exothermic reaction with water. Let me first reveal the identity of your salts: Salt A is ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3NH4NO3 N, H, 4, N, O, 3 ) and Salt B is calcium chloride (CaCl2CaCl2 C, a, C, l, 2 )." Now, Sam and Julie are curious about the difference between an endothermic and an exothermic reaction. Consider the reaction mixture—salt plus water—as the system and the flask as the surrounding . In Sam’s case, when ammonium nitrate was dissolved in water, the system absorbed heat from the surrounding , the flask, and thus the flask felt cold. This is an example of an endothermic reaction. In Julie’s case,

Using English to Predict rendement of product a reaction

Predicting Reaction Products When cooking, it's frequently handy to predict what will happen when we mix a bunch of ingredients together. For example, if we're interested in making a delicious new salad dressing, we would have a very small chance of making anything edible if we had no way of knowing which ingredients would have the greatest chance of succeeding. Likewise, it's often necessary for chemists to predict the chemical reactions that will take place when two chemicals are combined. For example, if we're adding a chemical to a tank of toxic waste to stabilize it, we'd be very unhappy if we failed to predict an explosive reaction. The Mole Says The tips in this section, while helping you to figure out what reaction might occur, aren't infallible in correctly predicting the reaction that will take place. However, if you're not sure what will happen, these tips will be useful in suggesting some possibilities. An easy way to predict

Using English to Give Evidence

Chemistry Within Us Chemistry plays a vital role in our survival, and life without chemicals can't even be imagined. They participate in the primary functions of the body, control our emotions, oversee the metabolic processes and keep diseases at bay. The oxygen that we breathe, the essential nutrients that we require, the genetic make-up of our body - the DNA and RNA - are all made up of different elements and compounds. Let us take a look at few such instances that involve chemistry, and are an integral part of our existence.     Composition of the Human Body Roughly 96% of our body mass is made up of just 4 elements:- Oxygen, Carbon, Hydrogen and Nitrogen. The remaining 4% consists of around 60 elements that include sodium, potassium, calcium, zinc, and the list goes on. The elements that are required in larger amounts are called macro-nutrients and the others that are needed in minute quantities, usually in parts per million or less, are called micro-nutrients.
