The metals Cadmium and Mercury are similar in their chemical properties, but in terms of their absolute entropy at room temperature and pressure, they are very different. Why?

Solutions

Expert Solution

Answer ==>

Both are metal but at room temperature both have different

Physical state of there ,Hg have liquid while cd have solid..

As we know entropy order like ==> gas>liquid>solid ,. So that

Hg have more entropy compare to cd..

Elements that appear in the same column of the periodic table often share similar chemical properties. In the case of the alkaline earth metals, this is troublesome since the body treats calcium (necessary for proper bone growth) and radium (a radioactive element) as chemically similar, storing both in bone marrow. The radium then bombards nearby bone cells with alpha particles, causing them to "crumble." Radium poisoning investigations often center on the identification of radium and its isotopes in bone samples...
