Usually (ignoring transition metals, as they kinda get trickier), the element's valency can be found out by its group (column) number. Usually, we ignore the transition metal block while counting these columns, so Aluminium is in group 3, for example. Since Aluminium is in group 3, it has 3 valence electrons.
Rutherford used gold for his scattering experiment because gold is the most malleable metal and he wanted the thinnest layer as possible. The goldsheet used was around 1000 atoms thick. Therefore, Rutherford selected a Gold foil in his alpha scatttering experiment.
Answer:
Metals have one or two electrons in their outermost shell
C. 1-2
Explanation:
- Metals have low ionisation energy because they easily looses the outermost electrons
- They have only one- two electrons in the outer most shell.
- They loose these electron to form charged species called cation.
This is the reaction formula,
4Fe+3O2=2Fe2O3
<span>3Fe+202=Fe3O4
it has o</span>xygen atom after it's rusted
