A helium atom would never explode and is non-reactive, whereas a hydrogen atom is.

A helium atom is not flammable because it is one of the Inert Gasses; In contrast, Hydrogen is flammable. It reacts explosively with Oxygen


I think I am correct, but comment if I'm wrong :-)

The other answer here says nothing about the structures
of a Hydrogen atom or a Helium atom.


In "classical terms" ... where we picture an atom something
like a tiny tiny solar system ...

-- The nucleus of a Hydrogen atom is a single proton,
whereas the nucleus of a Helium atom is a tightly bound
bundle of four particles ... 2 protons and 2 neutrons. 
This also means that every atom of Helium has 4 times
the mass of a Hydrogen atom.

-- In addition to the atomic nucleus, one electrically-neutral
atom of Hydrogen has an electron associated with the nucleus
and at some distance from it, whereas an electrically-neutral atom
of Helium has two electrons.

"Frequency" just means "often-ness" ... how often something happens.
It's always expressed as

You push against a steamer trunk with a force of 800 n at an angle alpha with the horizontal . the trunk is on a flat floor and
galina1969 [7]
The formula for this problem that we will be using is:
F * cos α = m * g * μs where:F = 800m = 87g = 9.8
cos α = m*g*μs/F= 87*9.8*0.55/800= 0.59 So solving the alpha, find the arccos above.
α = arccos 0.59 = 54 ° is the largest value of alpha

when an element tends to lose its valence electrons in chemical reactions , does it behave more like a metal or nonmetal
Juli2301 [7.4K]

It behaves more like a metal

Explanation:

When an element tends to lose its valence electrons in chemical reactions, they behave more like a metal.

Metals are electropositive.

Electropositivity or metallicity is the a measure of the tendency of atoms of an element to lose electrons.

This is closely related to ionization energy and the electronegativity of the element.

  • The lower the ionization energy of an element, the more electropositive or metallic the element is .

Metals are usually large size and prefers to be in reactions where they can easily lose their valence electrons.

When most metals lose their valence electrons, they attain stability.

Non-metals are electronegative. They prefer to gain electrons.
