Answer:
<span>In ionic compounds, <u>Metals</u> lose their valence electrons to form positively charged Cations.
Explanation:
Metals have the ability to loose elctrons readily. For example metals of Group IA and Group IIA readily looses electrons in order to obtain Noble Gas Configuration. On the other hand Non-metals tends to gain electrons and acquire negative charge. While Ions are made when an an element gain or loose electrons. After loosing electrons element get positive charge which is called as Cation while on gaining electron it gets negative charge called as Anion.</span>
They work by lowering the activation energy
Polar covalent bond- a bond where atoms are unevenly shared due to a larger difference in electronegativity of the bonded elements.
Non-polar covalent bond- These are bonds between elements with a low difference in electronegativity. Electrons are shared equally in these bonds between the elements.
Ionic bonds- have such large difference in electronegativity that they take/give electrons to the element they are bonded to. They do not share electrons at all. Bonds between a non-metal and a metal.
Answer:
Manganese: Mn
Explanation:
The elestron configuration would show this is 25 electrons
Atomic number : 25
this electron configuration ends in 
half of the d subshell which is 10
Answer:
Sodium ion ( Na+) is known to have no smell at all but however appears salty which is the reason why the compound Sodium Chloride has the same type of taste.
Hydrogen ions ( H+) are known to have no taste which implies it being tasteless. It is also important to note that it has no smell too when perceived (odorless).
