The  statement  which is true is

metals  lose  electrons  to become cations

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>

  • metals tends  to loss electrons to attain  noble gas  electrons  configuration.
  • When metal loses electrons they form a  positive charged ions.
  • The positively charged ion is known as  cations.
  • for  example  sodium metal (Na)  loses  1 electron to form   a cation with  a charge  of positive 1 ( Na^+)

Answer:

Metals lose electrons to become cations.

Explanation:

You have to lose electrons for it to be a cation, therefore B and D are false and can be eliminated.

Nonmetals tend to gain electrons and become anions, therefore C is incorrect and can be eliminated.

A is the only answer left, and it is scientifically correct.

Artemon [7]

The molar enthalpy of combustion in kj/mol of magnesium is 620 kj/mol, Option D is the correct answer.

<h3>What is enthalpy of Combustion ?</h3>

The energy released when a fuel is oxidized by an oxidizing agent is called enthalpy of Combustion.

It is given that

a 1.0 g sample of magnesium is burned to form MgO. in doing so, 25.5 kj of energy are released.

Molecular weight of Magnesium = 24.35g

24.35 g makes 1 mole of Mg

1g = 1/24.35

For 0.04 moles  25.5 kJ is released

for 1 mole 25.5 *1/.04

= 620 kj/mol

Therefore the molar enthalpy of combustion in kj/mol of magnesium is 620 kj/mol.

To know more about enthalpy of combustion

Sholpan [36]
The change in energy level was experienced by the electron that moved from a higher to a lower level. This does not affect the nucleus, so the nucleus itself does not change energy levels. It takes more energy to hold an electron at a higher than a lower energy level, so the change in energy levels means that some energy was released by the electron, and this is choice (2).

Drupady [299]
<span>6.37x10^-30 coulomb-meters The unit for dipole moments is the Debye which is 1x10^-21 C*m^2/s divided by the speed of light (299792458 m/s). So the conversion factor is 1x10^-21 C*m^2/s / 299792458 m/s = 3.33564095E-30 C*m And converting 1.91 d to Cm gives 1.91 * 3.33564095E-30 C*m = 6.37x10^-30 coulomb-meters</span>
