It behaves more like a metal

Explanation:

When an element tends to lose its valence electrons in chemical reactions, they behave more like a metal.

Metals are electropositive.

Electropositivity or metallicity is the a measure of the tendency of atoms of an element to lose electrons.

This is closely related to ionization energy and the electronegativity of the element.

The lower the ionization energy of an element, the more electropositive or metallic the element is .

Metals are usually large size and prefers to be in reactions where they can easily lose their valence electrons.

When most metals lose their valence electrons, they attain stability.

Non-metals are electronegative. They prefer to gain electrons.

Momentum - mass in motion
P=MV
P=(15,000 kg)(2.5 m/s)
P=37 500 kg x m/s to the north

Four charges are on the four corners of a square. Q1 = +5μC, Q2 = -10μC, Q3 = +5μC, Q4 = -10μC. The side length of the square is

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

Explanation:

Electric field due to a point charge Q at a point at distance d is given by the relation

E = $\frac{K\times Q}{d^2}$

Since Q1 and Q2 are of the same magnitude and distance , so they will create eletric field of same magnitude. Similarly field due to rest of the charges will also be same.

The charges are situated on the corners of a square in such a way that

equal charges of Q1 and Q3 are situated on the diametrically opposite corners of the square. Fields due to these two charges will be equal and opposite in direction. Therefore net field due to these two charges will be zero.

On the same ground, we can say that field due to Q2 and Q4 at the centre will be equal and opposite and therefore they will cancel out each other. Net field at the centre will be zero

Overall, net field due to all the four charges will be zero
