Answer:

Explanation:

Beryllium especially, but Boron as well both exhibit metallic characteristics.

The outside ring of Beryllium contains 2 electrons. It would have to take on 6 electrons to have a ring of 8. The same statement can be made about Boron (except that it would need 5 electrons to make 8). It is easier for the atom to give up 2 or 3 than than to take on 5 or 6. It would not be easy to have a 5 or 6 minus charge on it.

What type of chest tube system does this statement describe?

Komok [63]

Answer:

<em>Dry suction chest tube system</em>

Explanation:

<em>The dry suction drains that are self-regulating today use a small, adjustable regulator installed into the drain. </em>

So long as there is enough air flow from the suction of the wall (that will be shown on the drain) it will respond correctly to changes in the pressure of the source or the patient to retain suction at the drain level.

It's also a quiet mode of activity.
