Which of the following elements will tend to form an anion?
JulsSmile [24]
Metals usually form cations because they like to lose electrons to get a full octet.
Nonmetals usually form anions because they like to gain electrons to get a full octet.

Aluminum will lose 3 electrons to form a cation
Beryllium will lose 2 electrons to form a cation
Copper can lose either 1 or 2 electrons to form a cation.
Silicon can gain 4 electrons to form an anion.

Your correct answer is silicon.

Energy Sources (6 points) A. Sort the types of energy into the "renewable" and "nonrenewable" columns. (1 point)
denpristay [2]

Explanation:

(A)   Renewable resources are defined as the resources that can be used again and again.

For example, wind, hydroelectric energy, geothermal etc.

On the other hand, resources which cannot be used again and again and which cannot be replaced by natural means are known as non-renewable resources.

For example, coal, petroleum etc are all non-renewable resources.

Therefore, given options are distinguished as follows.

Renewable energy : Wind, Hydroelectric, Geothermal, Biomass, and Solar.

Non-renewable energy : Coal, Petroleum, Natural gas.

(B)    Fuels which decompose for a long period of time and which arise from old life forms are known as fossil fuels.

When fossil fuels burn in the presence of air that is, combustion of fossil fuels give carbon dioxide and water.
