The statement which is true is
metals lose electrons to become cations
<u><em>Explanation</em></u>
- metals tends to loss electrons to attain noble gas electrons configuration.
- When metal loses electrons they form a positive charged ions.
- The positively charged ion is known as cations.
- for example sodium metal (Na) loses 1 electron to form a cation with a charge of positive 1 ( Na^+)
2H2O = 2H2 + O2.
<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>
Balancing equations is very essential because of the fact that it represents the stoichiometric quantities of the reactants needed to react to form the product. The ratio of the weights of reactant and product are also very well understood from this.
Here in this equation, the water is broken into hydrogen and oxygen. The balanced reaction is
2H2O = 2H2 + O2.
Two moles of water is broken down into 2 moles of hydrogen and one mole of oxygen.
City B. Higher altitudes have lower boiling points due to lower atmospheric pressure at higher altitudes
Answer:
it is Calcium (Ca)
