<h2>Answer: </h2>

<u>Low ionization energies are most characteristic of atoms that are </u><u>Metals </u>

<h2>Explanation: </h2>

Metals tend to lose electrons in chemical reactions, as indicated by their low ionization energies. Ionization energy is the quantity of energy that an isolated, gaseous atom in the ground electronic state must absorb to discharge an electron, resulting in a cation. In metals the valence electrons are farther away from the positively charge nucleus, so the force of attraction is low therefore metals have low ionization energy.

Acellus<br> How many grams of strontium<br> (Sr, 87.62 g/mol) are in 2.92<br> moles of strontium?

saul85 [17]

Answer:

There are 255, 85 grams of Strontium in 2,92 moles.

Explanation:

We perform a simple rule of three to calculate the number of grams, knowing that one mole of Sr weights 87, 62 grams:

1 mol Sr---------87, 62 grams

2,92 mol Sr-----x=(2,92 mol Sr x-87, 62 grams)/1 mol Sr= 255,8504 grams

How Do Glow Sticks Glow?

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

All liquid glow products depend on a chemical process known as CHEMILUMINESCENCE to produce their light. Chemiluminesence is a chemical reaction that causes a release of energy in the form of light. To produce this light the electrons in the chemicals become excited and rise to a higher energy level.

To utilise this process glowsticks contain two liquids; hydrogen peroxide and tert-butyl alcohol. When mixed together it is these liquids that create the glow. Fluorescent dyes are also used in the alcohol to alter the colour of the light emitted.

Why must power plants spend so much money and be so cautious in dealing with these materials?

shepuryov [24]

If you are referring to nuclear power plants and radioactive materials, then there is a high necessity to be cautious and stay safe because only by being safe you can prevent accidents like those caused in Ukraine and Japan. Unlike other types of power plants whose destruction in case of an accident can relatively easily be contained, nuclear power plants are extremely difficult to manage if things go out of hand since you can destroy the air around it, the water, the food by ruining the soil, and many other things.
