Metalloids typically react with water to form acidic solutions. They can also react to form oxides or hydroxides, depending on the specific metalloid. For example, boron reacts with water to form boric acid, while silicon forms silicic acid.
Metalloids have properties that are intermediate between metals and non-metals. They typically exhibit characteristics of both groups, such as semi-conductivity, variability in electrical conductivity, and the ability to form covalent bonds. Some common metalloids include silicon, germanium, and arsenic.
Curium doesn't react with water.
Sulfur doesn't react with water.
Certain elements react with acids. Almost every metal react with acids except some, including copper, silver and gold. Metalloids are also weakly react with acids.
Beryllium is the only alkaline metal that reacts to oxygen but not to water. The hydrogen in water stabilizes the reaction.
Yes, metalloids can react with oxygen to form oxides. The reactivity of metalloids with oxygen depends on the specific metalloid and the conditions under which the reaction takes place. Silicon, for example, forms silicon dioxide when it reacts with oxygen.
Metalloids as a group have varying reactions with acids depending on the specific metalloid and acid involved. For example, silicon does not react with dilute acids, while boron can react with strong acids to form different compounds. Overall, metalloids can show acidic or amphoteric behavior, meaning they may react differently depending on the specific conditions.
They are both metalloids. They react with both acids and bases.
Uranium is a reactive metal and can react with all nonmetals and metalloids (excepting noble gases); also many alloys of uranium are known.
Metalloids have properties that are intermediate between metals and non-metals. They typically exhibit characteristics of both groups, such as semi-conductivity, variability in electrical conductivity, and the ability to form covalent bonds. Some common metalloids include silicon, germanium, and arsenic.
Aluminum and zinc are metals that react with both acids and bases. In acids, they undergo a displacement reaction to form a salt and hydrogen gas. In bases, they react to form a salt and hydrogen gas as well.
Californium don't react with water.
Curium doesn't react with water.
DDT doesn't react with water.
Protactinium react with water vapors.
Metals typically form basic oxides, which dissolve in water to form alkaline solutions. Nonmetals usually form acidic oxides, which can react with water to form acidic solutions. Oxides of metalloids can exhibit both acidic and basic properties.
Aluminum will not react with water at normal temperatures. Increase the temperature greatly, and just about any two things will react, though.
