They have free electron(s) on their outermost energy levels making them good conductors.
They have metallic bonds in their chemical structure.
They readily lose the electrons on their outermost energy levels, to bond with non-metals in ionic bonds to form chemical compounds called "salts"
They are about 4.5 billion years old. Hope this helps.
Answer:
The electric force between them decreases
Explanation:
The force between two charged particle is given by :
Where
r is the distance between charges
If the distance between the charges is increased, the electric force gets decreased as there is an inverse relation between force and distance.
Hence, the correct option is (c) "The electric force between them decreases"
Answer:
Explanation:
That's correct. Once Aluminum becomes an ion, it is very hard to force it to take back its electrons. Only a few elements can do it. Iron is not one of them.
Answer:
acetic acid, sodium hydroxide
Explanation:
A strong acid is an acid that ionizes in water to give all its hydrogen ion. Weak acid only ionize to a certain degree. Acetic acid (CH3COOH) only ionize to give one hydrogen ion despite having other hydrogen atom. This account for its weak nature as an acid as shown below:
CH3COOH <=> H^+ + CH3COO^-
A strong base is a base that ionizes in water to give all it hydroxide ion. Sodium hydroxide(NaOH) ionizes to give all its hydroxide ions. This make it a strong base as shown below;
NaOH <=> Na^+ + OH^-
