The answer is: lose electrons and form positive ions.
Most metals have strong metallic bond, because of strong electrostatic attractive force between valence electrons (metals usually have low ionization energy and lose electrons easy) and positively charged metal ions.
The ionization energy (Ei) is the minimum amount of energy required to remove the valence electron, when element lose electrons, oxidation number of element grows (oxidation process).
For example, magnesium has atomic number 12, which means it has 12 protons and 12 electrons. It lost two electrons to form magnesium cation (Mg²⁺) with stable electron configuration like closest noble gas neon (Ne) with 10 electrons.
Electron configuration of magnesium ion: ₁₂Mg²⁺ 1s² 2s² 2p⁶.
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Molecular formula ( just write down all of the elements ) C 4 H4 O4
Empiracle formual CHO
"Molecular formulas tell you how many atoms of each element are in a compound, and empirical formulas tell you the simplest or most reduced ratio of elements in a compound"
<span>A. Exact ecological footprints are often difficult to calculate, but estimates can be useful in comparing populations.
</span>Which of the following could be said about ecological footprints? <u /> <u>Exact ecological footprints are often difficult to calculate, but estimates can be useful in comparing populations.</u><u />
NOT:
b. Ecological footprints can't be used to determine carrying capacity.
C. Ecological footprints don't take into account resources needed to absorb and manage wastes.
<span>D. The average ecological footprints for various countries are nearly identical.</span>
Answer: they both have the same molecular formula but different structural formulae
Explanation:
hope this helps :)
