Answer:

an atom with a single electron in its outermost shell

Explanation:

The electron in the outermost shell of an atom has weakest bonding with the nucleus due to the relatively far distance. Since the lower attraction force can be exerted by nucleus, the single election residing in the outermost shell tends to lose and the atom become an positive charges ion.

One example of atom with single electron in its outermost shell is sodium, Na. Sodium atom can lose its single outermost shell an become positive ion Na+

Vesna [10]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

B] Meters per second

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

  • Now the remaining options are <u>miles per hour</u> and <u>Meter per second.</u>

  • In comparison with both of these;

we know that metre per second is the SI unit of average speed and hence the answer is <u>meters</u><u> per </u><u>second</u>.
