Answer:
Solar energy absorbed at Earth’s surface is radiated back into the atmosphere as heat. As the heat makes its way through the atmosphere and back out to space, greenhouse gases absorb much of it. Why do greenhouse gases absorb heat? Greenhouse gases are more complex than other gas molecules in the atmosphere, with a structure that can absorb heat. They radiate the heat back to the Earth's surface, to another greenhouse gas molecule, or out to space.
There are several different types of greenhouse gases. The major ones are carbon dioxide, water vapor, methane, and nitrous oxide. These gas molecules all are made of three or more atoms. The atoms are held together loosely enough that they vibrate when they absorb heat. Eventually, the vibrating molecules release the radiation, which will likely be absorbed by another greenhouse gas molecule. This process keeps heat near the Earth’s surface. Most of the gas in the atmosphere is nitrogen and oxygen, which cannot absorb heat and contribute to the greenhouse effect.
Explanation:
Answer:
Sodium - malleable, soft, and shiny
Silicon - has properties of both metals and nonmetals
Bromine - highly reactive gas
Argon - non-reactive gas
Explanation:
Sodium is an alkaline metal. Just like other alkaline metals, it's malleable, soft, and shiny.
Silicon is a metalloid. Metalloids are elements that have properties of both metals and nonmetals.
Bromine a highly reactive chemical element. It is a fuming red-brown liquid at room temperature that evaporates to form a similarly coloured gas.
Argon is a noble gas. Just like other noble gases, it's non-reactive.

Not sure what you are asking. I have two possible answers though...
It could either be more negatively charged, or valence electrons.
The more away from the nucleus a electron is, the more negatively charged it is.
The electrons on the outermost electron shell is valence electrons.
Again, I don't know what you were asking, but one of these answers may be correct.
