Hydrogen, iron, and gallium is the correct answer. Hence, option B is correct.

<h3>What is an electron?</h3>

An electron is a negatively charged subatomic particle.

Let us take another look at the periodic table. The periodic table is composed of metals, metalloids and nonmetals.

Metals lose electrons more easily, that is why they form cations. Metals are found on the left-hand side of the periodic table.

As we move away from the left-hand side of the periodic table, the ability to form cations decreases as metallic character decreases and elements become more nonmetallic.

The noble gas helium rarely loses electrons. Fluorine would rather accept an electron to form a negative ion.

Hence, the elements hydrogen, iron and gallium are metals hence they lose electrons more easily.

Hence, option B is correct.

Which two atoms could be the "before'' and ''after'' of an alpha ejection
spin [16.1K]
The answer would be uranium and thorium. When an alpha ejects a particle, it will create a new atom. So, when uranium ejects an alpha particle, it will produce thorium.  They call this process as the alpha decay. Alpha decay often happens on atoms that are abundant nuclei such as uranium, radium, and thorium.

What is another term for a responding variable
Burka [1]
There are different types of variables in experiments. The manipulated variable is the one you change. The controlled variable is the one you control. The responding variable is the variable that changes as you change the manipulated variable, or the one you are expecting to change.
