Answer:
<span>In ionic compounds, <u>Metals</u> lose their valence electrons to form positively charged Cations.
Explanation:
Metals have the ability to loose elctrons readily. For example metals of Group IA and Group IIA readily looses electrons in order to obtain Noble Gas Configuration. On the other hand Non-metals tends to gain electrons and acquire negative charge. While Ions are made when an an element gain or loose electrons. After loosing electrons element get positive charge which is called as Cation while on gaining electron it gets negative charge called as Anion.</span>
Answer:
Ice is a solid form of liquid. Water simply expands when it freezes.
The same amount of water for each shape of ice because the melting rate of ice depends on the surface area of each shape. So the same amount of water or volume with a large surface area will remain frozen for longer time.
The answer is 27 grams. Hope it helps
