Do metals gain or lose electrons in order to acquire a full octet

Physics
1 answer:
Sergeeva-Olga [200]3 years ago
8 0

Metals are just over a full octet, and non-metals just under. It just occurs as metals have 1-3 valence electrons so it is cooler for metals to lose electron than to gain electron for the reason that they would have to get more electrons as likened to losing electrons. So the answer is lose.

13.<br>14. Why does a person feel weightlessness during freefall?​
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

When in free fall, the only force acting upon your body is the force of gravity - a non-contact force. Since the force of gravity cannot be felt without any other opposing forces, you would have no sensation of it. You would feel weightless when in a state of free fall.

The diameter of an atom is 1.1×10−10m and the diameter of its nucleus is 1.0×10−14m. Part A What percent of the atom's volume is
77julia77 [94]

To solve this problem we will use the basic concept given by the Volume of a sphere with which the atom approaches. The fraction in percentage terms would be given by the division of the total volume of the nucleus by that of the volume of the atom, that is,

\% Percent = \frac{V_{nucleus}}{V_{atom}}*100

\% Percent = \frac{4/3 \pi (d_{nucleus}/2)^3}{4/3 \pi (d_{atom}/2)^3}*100

\% Percent = \frac{(d_{nucleus}/2)^3}{ (d_{atom}/2)^3}*100

\% Percent =\frac{(1.0*10^{-14}/2)^3}{ (1.1*10^{-10}/2)^3}*100

\% Percent = 7.51*10^{-13}*100

\% Percent = 7.51*10^{-11}\%

Therefore the percent of the atom's volume is occupied by mass is 7.51*10^{-11}\%
