I believe you have to label out the positive metal ion and the delocalized electrons. They're the 2 things that makes up a metal structure.
In the diagram, the circles with the + symbol are the positive metal ions, since + represents positive. And the remaining - circles are the delocalized electrons, as electrons are negative.
And for how a metal conducts electricity, since they're delocalized mobile electrons present in any metal structures, they're able to move away from the metal to the positive side of the battery and more electrons can replace their place flowing from the negative side.
Answer:
Explanation:
Group one elements are alkali metals. All alkali metal have one valance electron. They loses their one valance electron and from cation with charge of +1.
Charges on group one.
Hydrogen = +1
Lithium = +1
Sodium = +1
Potassium = +1
Rubidium = +1
Cesium = +1
Francium = +1
Group two elements are alkaline earth metals. All alkaline earth metal have two valance electron. They loses their two valance electron and from cation with charge of +2.
Charges on group two.
Beryllium = +2
Magnesium = +2
Calcium = +2
Strontium = +2
Barium= +2
Radium = +2
Group 13 elements are boron family. All elements have three valance electrons. They loses their three valance electron and from cation with charge of +3.
Charges on group 13.
Boron = +3
Aluminium = +3
Gallium = +3
Indium = +3
Thallium= +3
Group 13 elements are also shows +1 charge by losing one valance electron.
The answer would be , a Chemical change!
Answer: option <span>A) increases from bottom to top within the group.
Explanation:
</span>It is a known trend that the metallic character of the elements increase from let to right and from top to bottom.
The greater the metallic character the greater the reactivity of the metal.
So, the elements of the columns 1 and 2 are the most reactive metals and among them the elements at the bottom are yet more reactive.
<span>The higher reactivity of the metals that are lower in the periodic table is attributed to the greater total number of electrons.
The greater the total number of electrons the more reactive the metals
as their outermost electrons (the valence electrons which are those that react) are located further from the nucleus and therefore they are held less
strongly, which makes them react more easily.</span>
