Metals form basic oxides, nonmetals form acidic oxides the elements on a diagonal line from beryllium to polonium and several d-block metals form amphoteric oxides. 

Concentrated nitric acid oxidizes nonmetals, such as sulfur, phosphorus, and iodine forming their oxyacids with liberation of nitric oxide. For example, cold concentrated nitric acid reacts with sulfur to form sulfuric acid ... 

FIGURE J.3 The location of acidic, amphoteric, and basic oxides in the main groups of the periodic table. Metals form basic oxides, nonmetals form acidic oxides. The diagonal band of amphoteric oxides closely matches the diagonal band of metalloids (recall Fig. B.18).

Concentrated sulfuric acid oxidizes nonmetals. For example, it oxidizes carbon to carbon dioxide and sulfur to sulfur dioxide ... 

Thus, the surface properties enhancing the adsorption of the first protein can cause diminution of its fraction displaced by the larger second protein subsequently adsorbed. The real-time dynamics of the Vroman effect for HSA and Fg subsequently adsorbed on various (metal, oxide, nonmetal) surfaces monitored by the QCM technique demonstrates the influence of the nature and nano-relief of the surfaces onto the competitive adsorption of proteins. Obtained results suggest that the dynamics of the competitive adsorption of any polymers, biomacromolecules, cells, and microorganisms in aqueous media may be studied in real timescale using the QCM method in parallel with observation by the QELS method. 

Besides oxidizing and therefore dissolving a variety of metals, nitric acid can also oxidize nonmetals such as sulfur (Sg) and phosphorus (P4) to the corresponding sulfates and phosphates. Write balanced equations representing these processes. 

Water-reactive compounds. These materials react Adolently with water (or moist air) and undergo extremely rapid oxidation (alkali metals, anhydrous metal oxides, nonmetal halides, etc.). Some evolve hydrogen gas when they react with water, thereby increasing the hazard involved.

The essential operations of an extractive metallurgy flow sheet are the decomposition of a metallic compound to yield the metal followed by the physical separation of the reduced metal from the residue. This is usually achieved by a simple reduction or by controlled oxidation of the nonmetal and simultaneous reduction of the metal. This may be accompHshed by the matte smelting and converting processes. 

Berzehus (19) further appHed and amplified the nomenclature introduced by Guyton de Morveau and Lavoisier. It was he who divided the elements into metalloids (nonmetals) and metals according to their electrochemical character, and the compounds of oxygen with positive elements (metals) into suboxides, oxides, and peroxides. His division of the acids according to degree of oxidation has been Httie altered. He introduced the terms anhydride and amphoteric and designated the chlorides in a manner similar to that used for the oxides. 

Phosphoms shows a range of oxidation states from —3 to +5 by virtue of its electronic configuration. Elemental P is oxidized easily by nonmetals such as oxygen, sulfur, and halides to form compounds such as 2 5 2 5 reduced upon reaction with metals to generate phosphides. The... 

Alkoxides of nonmetals are described in articles about the corresponding compounds (see Boron COMPOUNDS, Boron oxides Silicon compounds). Metal alkyls, in which the alkyl group is bound direcdy to the metal, are also discussed elsewhere (see Aluminum compounds). 

On a fresh surface the metal has a steely lustre but rapidly tarnishes in air as a result of surface formation of oxide and carbonate species. For protection against oxidation the metal is usually stored in a light mineral oil. When made finely divided, eg, on being cut, it can be strongly pyrophoric, and, for this reason is used, as the ferro-alloy mischmetal, in lighter flints and ordnance. Cerium reacts steadily with water, readily dissolves in mineral acids, and is also attacked by alkafl it reacts with most nonmetals on heating. 

Whereas finely divided cobalt is pyrophoric, the metal in massive form is not readily attacked by air or water or temperatures below approximately 300°C. Above 300°C, cobalt is oxidized by air. Cobalt combines readily with the halogens to form haUdes and with most of the other nonmetals when heated or in the molten state. Although it does not combine direcdy with nitrogen, cobalt decomposes ammonia at elevated temperatures to form a nitride, and reacts with carbon monoxide above 225°C to form the carbide C02C. Cobalt forms intermetallic compounds with many metals, such as Al, Cr, Mo,... 

The effect of radiation-source temperature on the low-temperature absorptivity of a number of additional materials is presented in Fig. 5-12. It will be noted that polished aluminum (cui ve 15) and anodized (surface-oxidized) aluminum (cui ve 13), representative of metals and nonmetals respectively, respond oppositely to a change in the temperature of the radiation source. The absorptance of surfaces for solar... 

This half-reaction occurs when the anion cannot be oxidized. Examples include nitrate and sulfate anions, where the nonmetal present is already in its highest oxidation state (+5 for N, +6 for S). 

The transition metals, unlike those in Groups 1 and 2, typically show several different oxidation numbers in their compounds. This tends to make their redox chemistry more complex (and more colorful). Only in the lower oxidation states (+1, +2, +3) are the transition metals present as cations (e.g., Ag+, Zn2+, Fe3+). In higher oxidation states (+4 to +7) a transition metal is covalently bonded to a nonmetal atom, most often oxygen.
