In the case of Zn, it is likely eligible for one charge, as its 3d is full, it can lose the electrons from the 4s2 level that it does to become Zn2+.

Iron has 6 electrons in the 3d energy level, which signifies that it would give up 6+2 to get to the next stable energy level. It is much convenient for it to give up the 4s2 and then one more out of the 3d6 to produce Fe2+ and Fe3+ respectively.  

Sodium has one electron to give away in the 3s energy level, as soon as it gives its one electron, it will look like Ne. In silver, the 4d10 energy level is full, it can only give up the 5s1 electron easily.  

In the case of cobalt, the electrons can be taken from the 4s2 energy level and then one more out of the 3d7 energy level, and after that more and more again. Thus, it can go from +5 to -1 charge, due to much more happening in the 3d7 energy level.  

Therefore, cobalt can likely form ions with multiple charges.

Which units are used to measure both velocity and speed? Select three options
Ede4ka [16]

Answer and Explanation:

The options aren't listed in your question, but here are some units that are regularly and normally used (in the classroom and in the outside world):

(The SI unit of distance and displacement is the meter. The SI unit of time is the second.)

<u>Meters per Second (m/s)</u>

kilometers per hour (km/hr)

kilometers per second (km/sec)

To find the average speed, you do distance divided by time.

To find the average velocity, you do the final position minus the initial position, divided by the final time minus the initial time.

What causes metal to emit light?​
Flauer [41]
Heating an atom excites its electrons and they jump to higher energy levels. When the electrons return to lower energy levels, they emit energy in the form of light. ... Every element has a different number of electrons and a different set of energy levels. Thus, each element emits its own set of colours.
