Answer:
C. Lose three electrons to have a full outer shell
Explanation:
Al is in Group 13 of the Periodic Table, so it has three valence electrons.
It must either lose three electrons or gain five to achieve a stable octet.
It is easier to lose three electrons than it is to gain five, so Al loses three electrons.
D. is wrong, for the same reason.
A. is wrong. If Al lost three electrons, it would be breaking into a stable inner shell.
C. is wrong. Al is a metal, so it will lose electrons in a reaction.
Answer:
1. c) shiny
2) True. Reactivity is a chemical property.
Answer:
This question is incomplete
Explanation:
There are two major forms of energy; these are potential and kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is the energy present in moving options. Examples include mechanical and electrical energy.
The formula for kinetic energy is 1/2mv² where "m" is mass and "v" is velocity.
While potential energy is the energy present in stationary objects that can be put to use in future. Example includes a ball in its resting state. The formula for potential energy is "mgh" where "m" is mass, "g" is acceleration due to gravity and "h" is height
Considering the law of conservation of energy which states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can be transformed from one form to another. Looking at the example provided earlier for potential energy, a ball in its resting position (having a potential energy) when kicked will have a kinetic energy (which can be calculated with the formula provided earlier), hence
Total energy = potential energy (P.E) + kinetic energy (K.E)
This formula and the explanation above can be used to answer the completed question.
NOTE: There is no standard relationship between P.E and K.E. They could be directly or indirectly proportional depending on the circumstance.
B, but keep in mind the element sodium is very reactive (though table salts, on the other hand, are not).
