You should first count all the valence electrons. Then draw the central atom and single bonds to the rest (then go from there)

What do acids and bases have in common apex?
disa [49]

Both acids and bases produce a part of a water molecule. Bases dissociate hydroxide (–OH) ions and acids, hydrogen (H+) ions that when combined form water. Both are also very corrosive when they are strong enough that they fully dissociate in water.

Do metals form are anions or cations?
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer: Metals form cations.

The alkali metals (the IA elements) lose a single electron to form a cation with a 1+ charge.

The alkaline earth metals (IIA elements) lose two electrons to form a 2+ cation.

Aluminum, a member of the IIIA family, loses three electrons to form a 3+ cation.

Therefore, metals in the s and p block of the periodic table have 1, 2 or 3 electrons in their outermost orbit (or valence shell). Now to gain a stable octet metals lose either 1, 2 or 3 electrons from the valence shell thus forming cation with +1, +2 or +3 charge.

What happens to metals when they form an ion?
Anastaziya [24]
Metals generally form cations, meaning they become positively charge - this positive charge is due to the loss of electrons.

The ______ force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by an object. gravitational friction buoyant
Tju [1.3M]
Buoyant



Buoyancy is the ability to float in fluids.
Gravity is the force of all objects attracted to one.
Friction is the force caused when two objects rub against each other causing them to slow

<span>Archimedes principle explains that the magnitude of that force is proportional to the difference in the pressure between the top and the bottom of the column, and</span> is also equivalent to the weight of the fluid that would otherwise occupy the column, i.e. the displaced fluid.
