Metals are malleable and ductile.
Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity.
Metals are lustrous (shiny) and can be polished.
Metals are solids at room temperature (except mercury, which is liquid).
Metals are tough and strong.
hope this helps!
S orbital.
Group 1 elements have a general configuration 
, where n represents the highest occupied Principal Energy Level. For example, Lithium has the valence configuration 
whereas Cesium has 
. Both of them belong to Group 1 of Periodic Table.
Group 2 elements have a general configuration of 
. For example, Magnesium has 
as its outer shell configuration while Strontium has the same as 
.
We see that in both the cases, the outermost S orbital is being filled.
<span>The change in the electron's potential energy is equal to the work done on the electron by the electric field. The electron's potential energy is the stored energy relative to the electron's position in the electric field. Vcloud - Vground represents the change in Voltage. This voltage quantity is given to be 3.50 x 10^8 V, with the electron at the lower potential. The formula for calculating the change in the electron's potential energy (EPE) is found by charge x (Vcloud - Vground) = (EPEcloud - EPE ground) where charge is constant = 1.6 x 10^-19. Filling in the known quantities results in the expression 1.6 x 10^-19 (3.50 x 10^8) = (EPEcloud - EPEground) = 5.6 x 10^-11. Therefore, the change in the electron's potential energy from cloud to ground is 5.6 x 10^-11 joules.</span>
Take a look at a simple reaction like the one below:
In this reaction some reactant A is turned into some product B. The rate of reaction can be represented by a decrease in concentration of A over time or as the increase of B over time. This is written:
