Reducing acidity of chyme :Acidic chyme entering the duodenum stimulates the release of secretin from the small intestinal glands.
The melting point of potassium = 
Melting point of titanium = 
Titanium has a stronger metallic bonding compared to potassium. Titanium being a transition metal has greater number of valence electrons (4 valence electrons) contributing to the valence electron sea compared to potassium which has only one valence electron. The atomic size of Titanium much lower than that of potassium, so the bonding between Titanium atoms is stronger than that of potassium. Hence, the melting point of Titanium is much higher than that of potassium.
Answer:
covalent bonds
Explanation:
ionic transfer of e^- ions formed (charges)
ionic=non-metal+ metal
ex: F+Ca
covalent sharing e^- no true charges
covalent= non-metal+ non-metal
ex: F+P
( my notes)
The answer would be 1.86 x 10^4
