<span>The elements of the periodic table are classified into three categories: inert gases, nonmetals and metals. Generally, inert gases do not readily gain nor lose electrons, while nonmetals are more likely to acquire electrons. Metals contain low ionization energies, which refer to the amount of energy required to free or remove an electron. These elements also have low electron affinities, or the attractive forces between an incoming electron and the nucleus of an atom. The lower the ionization energies and electron affinities of an atom are, the greater the tendency to lose electrons.</span>

posledela
Explanation:

first, find the circumference of the wheel by using the formula 2(pi)(r):

2(pi)(19) = 119.380521

divide by 25 secs

119.380521/25 = 4.77522083

round to the nearest tenth is 4.8, so the speed is 4.8mm/sec
