Metals generally form cations, meaning they become positively charge - this positive charge is due to the loss of electrons.

Answer: -

Cation

Explanation: -

Metals have low ionization enthalpy. So they tend to lose it's electrons to fulfill octet.

Upon losing electrons, a metal atom has more protons than neutrons.

The electrical neutrality of the atom is no longer there.

The metal atom after losing electron has a positive charge.

They are referred to as cations.

Lower the group of periodic table an element is found, more is it's tendency to form cations.

A sample of gaseous methyl ether has a mass of 8.12g and occupies a volume of 3.96L at STP. What is the molecular weight of meth
Naya [18.7K]
Molar volume is when 1 mol of any gas occupies 22.4 L at STP.
Methyl ether has a mass of 8.12 g,
Volume occupied - 3.96 L
If 22.4 L occupied by 1 mol of gas
Then 3.96 L occupied by 1/22.4 x 3.96 = 0.176 mol of gas
The mass of 0.176 mol = 8.12 g
Molar mass is mass of 1 mol
Therefore mass of 1 mol = 8.12/0.176 = 46.1
Molecular weight is 46.1 g/mol

Oxygen gas is esential for living beings why​
Darina [25.2K]
Oxygen plays a critical role in respiration, the energy-producing chemistry that drives the metabolisms of most living things. We humans, along with many other creatures, need oxygen in the air we breathe to stay alive. Oxygen is generated during photosynthesis by plants and many types of microbes.
