The alkali metals can't exist alone in nature because of incomplete outermost shell of alkali metals.

<h3>What are the  properties of alkali metals?</h3>

The alkali metals have the high thermal and electrical conductivity. It has high lustre, ductility, and malleability as compared to other materials. Each alkali metal atom has one electron in its outermost shell which make more reactive.

So we can conclude that the alkali metals can't exist alone in nature because of incomplete outermost shell of alkali metals.

How does the mass of an electron compare to the mass of a proton and a
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

C. The mass of an electron is much less than the mass of a proton or

a neutron.

Explanation:

When we compare the mass of an electron to that of proton or neutron, the mass of an electron is much less than the mass of a proton or a neutron.

Electrons are negatively charged particles in an atom

Protons are positively charged particles

Neutrons do not carry any charges.

  • The relative mass of an electron compared to that of a proton is \frac{1}{1840}
  • This is a very small value
  • Electrons generally have mass of 9.11 x 10⁻³¹kg
  • Protons weigh 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷kg
  • Neutrons weigh  1.68 x 10⁻²⁷kg

We can see that electrons have very small mass and this is why when calculating the mass of an atom, we use the sum of the number of protons and neutrons.

Describe how chemical substances are used based on their physical properties?
Lilit [14]
The answer is
Physical properties: Properties that do not change the chemical nature of matter
Chemical properties: Properties that do change tha chemical nature of matter

Examples of physical properties are: color, smell, freezing point, boiling point, melting point, infra-red spectrum, attraction (paramagnetic) or repulsion (diamagnetic) to magnets, opacity, viscosity and density. There are many more examples. Note that measuring each of these properties will not alter the basic nature of the substance.

Examples of chemical properties are: heat of combustion, reactivity with water, PH, and electromotive force.
