Answer:

Some Lose, Some form

Explanation:

Group 2 metals commonly lose two electrons to form ions with two positive charges. Other metals, like the transition metals, also always form positive ions, but the number of electrons they may lose varies. Nonmetals form ions by gaining electrons.

Sometimes Combination reaction takes place sometimes decomposition and sometime replacement.. Can someone say me the conditions
Rina8888 [55]

Whenever any substance goes under chemical change so any of the reaction will happen either both or multiple compounds will combine to produce combination reaction either one compound will decompose itself into 2 or more compounds or elements and last one is replacement reaction the either reaction is not even going to combination nor decomposition, So when a reaction like that happens it must replacement reaction.

Now the question is what's the condition required for it, so basically a chemical reaction when takes place it depends upon several factor on the basis of which we conclude products. The factors are Temperature,catalyst,reagents, either what is the mechanism of reaction, stability of reactants and stability of products and alot more.

During reaction sometimes gas forms and sometimes not yea and well that also depends on the chemical reactivity and stability of product sometimes product found itself most stable releasing the gas evolving so it's been done itself and sometimes we add catalyst and adjust the reaction to extract that gas and get desirable product manually.

I wrote all i know if sorry if this is not what you're looking for :(

Why do you think scientists claim to offer only supporting evidence for a theory and not proof?
larisa [96]
Because they're not confident enough to confirm it's indeed true but they will support it for they believe it's correct.

Platinum crystallizes in a face-centered cubic cell. the density of platinum is 21.4 g/cm3. calculate the radius of the platinum
IgorLugansk [536]
1 mole of platinum has a mass of 195 g therefore 1 atom will have a mass of 195 g /(6.02 ×10^23) = 3.239 × 10^-22 g
Density is given by dividing mass by volume, thus to get volume, mass is divided by density. 
The volume = (3.239 × 10^-22)/21.4 
                    = 1.514 × 10^-23 cm³
But volume of a sphere is given by 4/3πr³
Therefore, r³ = 3.6129 × 10^-24 
                 r   = ∛(3.6129 × 10^-24)
                      = 1.534 × 10^ -8 cm
Therefore, the radius of the platinum atom is 1.534 × 10^-8 cm
