Answer:

2) lose electrons and form positive ions

Explanation:

Metals are generally electropositive elements due to the fact that they lose electrons to their non-metal counterparts and hence, form CATIONS or positively charged atoms. Non-metals, on the contrary, gains electrons and become negatively charged i.e form anions. These ions combine to form stable ionic compounds.

This electron-losing characteristics of metals make them have properties that includes: good conductors of electricity and heat, being lustrous etc.

Which of the following equations of CH4 + Cl2
mylen [45]

Balanced equation : C. CH₄ + 4Cl₂⇒  CCl₄+ 4HCl

<h3>Further explanation  </h3>

Equalization of chemical reactions can be done using variables. Steps in equalizing the reaction equation:  

1. gives a coefficient on substances involved in the equation of reaction such as a, b, or c, etc.  

2. make an equation based on the similarity of the number of atoms where the number of atoms = coefficient × index (subscript) between reactant and product  

3. Select the coefficient of the substance with the most complex chemical formula equal to 1  

Reaction

CH₄ + Cl₂⇒  CCl₄+ HCl

  • Give coefficient :

aCH₄ + bCl₂⇒  CCl₄+ cHCl

  • Make equation :

C, left=a, right=1⇒a=1

H, left=4a, right=c⇒4a=c⇒4.1=c⇒c=4

Cl, left=2b, right=4+c⇒2b=4+c⇒2b=4+4⇒2b=8⇒b=4

The equation becomes :

CH₄ + 4Cl₂⇒  CCl₄+ 4HCl
