In metallic bonds, the valence electrons from the s and p orbitals of the interacting metal atoms delocalize. That is to say, instead of orbiting their respective metal atoms, they form a “sea” of electrons that surrounds the positively charged atomic nuclei of the interacting metal ions.
Answer:
One may conclude that they have an identical number of electrons in their outermost shell, therefore the can be substituted for one another.
Explanation:
Elements in the same family tend to behave similarly in chemical reactions because they have similar number of valence electrons in their outermost shell and they also have similar chemical properties.
Valence electrons are responsible for reactions between elements. The valence electron makes it possible for atoms to combine and react, therefore, elements in a family behave similarly in chemical reactions because they have an identical number of electrons in their outermost shell.

Bears are omnivores (and scavengers), meaning they eat both plants and animals.
it can be both a primary consumer (if it eats plants) and secondary & tertiary consumers (if it eats a plant-eating animal). so it depends on what it eats.
