<span>The bone is made up of calcium. Calcium along with collagen helps to make the bones very strong, like concrete. Bones have a very high tensile strength, that is why we can put the pressure of our body weight on them without the bones being broken immediately. The structure of the bone also helps since the shaft is made up of compact bone which is very good at resisting tension. To help with the compressional strength of the bones, the extremities are made of cancellous material which is very good at fighting compression. All in all, the material and engineering of the bone allow it to be rigid, yet flexible, making them hard to break and good at their function of support and protection.</span>

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

1⁺ ion

Explanation:

Metals in the first group on the periodic table will prefer to form 1⁺ ion. This is because the 1 valence electron in their orbital.

Most metals are electropositive and would prefer to lose electrons than to gain it.

Like all metals, the group 1 elements called the alkali metals would prefer to lose and electron.

On losing an electron the number of protons is then greater than the number of electrons. This leaves a net positive charge.
