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.

Answer:
D. because the light is reflected back into the fiber along its sides
Explanation:
The fiber is constructed in a way that the light is bent/reflected/refracted toward the center core of glass. So, from the center core, there is a layer above it that has a different propagation than the core, and above that the same thing. To give you a real world visual example, if you look down in a pool of water, then stick a straight stick into it, you see that the straight stick appears to bend. That is what is happening to the light as it travels through a different medium (air to water). This same effect is incorporated in the fiber optic cable construction.
Positive charge=proton
Negative charge=electron
No charge/neutral=neutron
Radiation: Getting sunburnt on a beach.
- The sun’s radiation (no direct contact) is what causes the skin to burn.
Radiation: Microwave cooking food
- Microwaves use radiation to heat the food inside of it; between radio waves and infrared radiation on the electromagnetic spectrum
Conduction: Touching a hot car seat in the summer
- Conduction is the transfer of heat by direct contact (hand to seat).
Conduction: Burning yourself with a curling iron (Similar to above; direct contact).
Convection: An ocean breeze
- Convection near coastlines cause the transfer of energy; water warms and cools slower than land.
Conduction: Sliding down a hot metal slide in august
- You are in direct contact with the slide, which is hot due to the temperature.
Convection: Water in a boiling pot of macaroni
- The water, a liquid, is being heated by molecular motion.
Convection: Currents deep within the earth that cause tectonic plates to move
- Convection currents drive the movement of tectonic plates in the mantle, which is fluid/molten. The currents circulate under the asthenosphere.
