It is energetically favorable for all atoms to have a complete outer
electron shell. Loosely, the atoms on the left hand side of the periodic
table only have a few extra electrons in their outer shell so it is
energetically favorable for them to lose them. The atoms on the right
hand side of the periodic table almost have enough electrons in their
outer shell and so they have a tendency to gain them.
Once electrons have left an electron shell, an atom will have a positive
charge because it has more protons (positive charges) than electrons
(negative charges). Similarly, an electron which has gained electrons to
complete its outer shell will have a negative charge because it now has
more electrons (negative charge) than protons (positive charge).
The factor that does not influence stream velocity is DISCHARGE.
Stream velocity refers to the speed with which the water in a stream is flowing. The factors which affect stream velocity include channel size, channel shape, turbulent flow and gradient.
I think the statement is false. Natural elements do reflect light. Almost everything in this world reflect light. Reflection<span> is when </span>light<span> bounces off an object. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>
