1) Radium will form Ra²⁺ ions, because it is metal with two valence electrons (7s²) and it will lost two electrons to have electric configuration like noble gas radon (Z=86).

Electroic configuration of radium atom:

₈₈Ra 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶3d¹⁰4s²4p⁶4d¹⁰4f¹⁴5s²5p⁶5d¹⁰6s²6p⁶7s².

2) Selenium wil form Se²⁻ ions, because it is nonmetal and it has six valence electrons (4s²4p⁴), it will gain two electrons to have electron configuration like noble gas krypton (Z=36).

Electronic configuration of selenium atom: ₃₄Se 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶3d¹⁰4s²4p⁴.

Radium belongs to 2nd group (Magnesium family) which means it will give +2 ion.
Ra2+

Selenium belongs to Oxygen family which means it will give -2 ion.
Se2-

What is the heat of vaporization of water?
andrew11 [14]
The molecules in liquid water are held together by relatively strong hydrogen bonds and its enthalpy of vaporization, 40.65 kJ/mol is more than five times the energy required to heat the same quantity of water from: 0 °C to 100 °C (cp = 75.3 J K−1 mol−1).

Hope this helps.

What makes an atom a good conductor?
andrew-mc [135]
Very little electric force is required to cause electron flow in conductors. This is due to electrons called "free electrons", which exist in the atoms of conductors. "Free electrons" are electrons that are very weakly bonded to the atom. ... Metals such as copper, silver, and gold are good conductors.

Well, atoms are loosely bound and free to move through the material. Almost all, or just most, atoms will hold on to electrons very tightly and are insulators.
