Answer:
Explanation:
Metal elements form positively charged ions called cations because they are located on the left side of the periodic table These elements all have valence electrons in an s orbital. These electrons are relatively easy for the atom to lose to achieve a stable octet of electrons in its outermost energy shell.
Fireworks
An exothermic reaction is one where the products have lower energy than the reactants, so the reaction yields energy. The chemical compounds present in firework fuel release a lot of energy upon oxidation. Photosynthesis is endothermic, settling of silt is not a chemical reaction, it is a physical change. Finally, the bubble formation in soda is not exothermic; otherwise, the sodas would become very hot very fast.
