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.

If you place a thermometer in the water, as the water heats up, you can watch the temperature rise. Again, an increase in internal energy will result in an increase in temperature.

Iodine 131, cesium 137, and strontium 90 are all considered isotopes. What are isotopes?
Nitella [24]

Answer:

Isotopes are variants of an element, where the number of neutrons is different but its number of protons stay the same.

Explanation:

If the number of protons had changed then it would just be a different element.

Electron number changing simply adds charge to the atom, and doesn't change it or anything.
