Bromine attracts electrons more strongly. Cesium is In fact the least electro negative element.

Sodium is more likely to lose an electron because is is less electro negative. Strong electronegativity make the element want more electrons. Sodium has loose electrons with a lower electronegativity so it gives it up easier.

Explanation:

1.    Cesium (Cs) is a group 1 element and it has electronic configuration [Xe] 6s^{1}.

On the other hand, bromine is a group 7 element and it has electronic configuration [Ar] 3d^{10}4s^{2}40^{5}.

Since, Cs is a metal so it will readily lose 1 electron but bromine being a non-metal needs 1 electron to completely fill its orbital.

Hence, bromine atom will attract electrons more strongly.

2.   Sodium (Na) is a a group 1 element and it has electronic configuration 1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{6}3s^{1}.

Whereas, chlorine is a group 7 element and it has electronic configuration 1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{6}3s^{2}3p^{5}.

So, sodium is a metal hence, it readily loses its one electron and chlorine being a non-metal will attract one electron in order to completely fill its orbital.

Thus, we can conclude that sodium (Na) atom loses an electron more readily.

What are these associated with the solar wind
Serjik [45]

Answer:

The solar wind is a stream of charged particles released from the upper atmosphere of the Sun, called the corona. ... Its particles can escape the Sun's gravity because of their high energy resulting from the high temperature of the corona, which in turn is a result of the coronal magnetic field.

The diagram below shows the different phase transitions that occur in matter.
solmaris [256]

Answer:

# 5

Explanation:

The question describes silver being "poured" into a mold and cools to become a solid bar. This is the phase of liquid to solid. When a element cools down below it's freezing points to become a solid.

<u>Liquid to Solid Definition:</u>

Freezing, or solidification, is a phase transition in which a liquid turns into a solid when its temperature is lowered to or below its freezing point. All known liquids, except helium, freeze when the temperature is low enough.

Oksanka [162]

Answer:

Answer B

Explanation:

By definition mixtures are combinations of substances physically prepared and physically separated. Mixtures are classified as 'homogeneous mixtures' and 'heterogeneous mixtures'. For homogeneous mixtures all components are dissolved, with solute evenly distributed throughout the solution and assumes state of solvent. 'Heterogeneous mixtures' have inconsistent properties throughout and solute concentration is not consistent throughout the mixture.
