Answer:

The correct options are: Z1) They tend to form cations, and Z4) They tend to form ionic compounds when they combine with the elements of Group VIIA.

Explanation:

The chemical elements that have a tendency of losing their valence electrons and are generally present on the left-side of the periodic table are known as metals.

The general characteristics of metals are malleability, ductility, lustre, high thermal and electrical conductivity.

The metals readily lose their valence electrons present in their valence electron shell to form positively charged ions called cations and thus have low ionization energy.

They also tend to form ionic compounds or salts with the reactive non-metals belonging to the Group VIIA of the periodic table.

Therefore, Z1 and Z4 are the properties of most metals.

To show the electron configuration for an atom, when would it be better to use an orbital notation than to use a written configu

Kisachek [45]

The answer is: when the aim is to show electron distributions in shells

An orbital notation is more appropriate if you want to show how the electrons of an atom are distributed in each subshell. This is because there are some atoms that have special electronic configurations that aren't obvious in just written configurations.

An aluminum block has a density of 2.70 g/mL. If the mass of the block is 24.60 g, find the volume of the substance.

harina [27]

Volume of a substance can be determined by dividing mass of the substance by its density.

That can be mathematical shown as:

Density=Mass/Volume

So, Volume=Mass/Density

Here mass of the substance given as 24.60 g

Whereas density of the substance is 2.70 g/mL

So,
