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.
Answer:
C. It is reactive because it must gain two electrons to have a full outermost energy level.
Step-by-step explanation:
The electron configuration of this element ends in 2s²2p⁴.
A filled energy level would end in 2s²2p⁶.
The element will be reactive, because it must gain electrons to have a full energy level, and it needs two more electrons to do this.
There are several types of surfactants, to name two: alkylbenzene sulfonates or detergents; and lauryl sulfate or foaming agents.
Alkylbenzene sulfonates are commonly used in the production of detergent soaps, these help clean the dirt from cloths and other materials, it also produces foam.
Lauryl sulfate or foaming agents are commonly used in the production of dishwashing liquid or handwashing soap.
The answer is: " 1.75 * 10 ^(-10) m " .

This very question asked for "Question Number 3 (THREE) ONLY, which is fine!
_________________________________________________________
Given: " 0.000000000175 m " ; write this in "scientific notation.
_________________________________________________________
Note: After the "first zero and the decimal point" {Note: that first zero that PRECEDES the decimal point in merely a "placeholder" and does not count as a "digit" — for our purposes} —
There are NINE (9) zeros, followed by "175"
_______________________________________________________
To write in "scientific notation", we find the integer that is written, as well, as any "trailing zeros" (if there are any—and by "trailing zeros", this means any number consecutive zeros/and starting with "the consecutive zeros" only —whether forward (i.e., "zeros following"; or backward (i.e. "zeros preceding").
In our case we have "zeros preceding"; that is a decimal point with zeros PRECEDING an "integer expression"<span>
</span><span> (the "integer" is "175").</span>
______________________________________________________
We then take the "integer expression" (whatever it may be: 12, 5, 30000001 ; or could be a negative value, etc.) ;
→ In our case, the "integer expression" is: "175" ;
and take the first digit (if the expression is negative, we take the negative value of that digit; if there is only ONE digit (positive or negative), then that is the digit we take ;
And write a decimal point after that first digit (unless in some cases, there is only one digit); and follow with the rest of the consecutive digits of that 'integer expression' ;
→ In our case: "175" ; becomes: " 1.75" .
__________________________________________________
Then we write: " * 10^ "
__________________________________________________
{that is "[times]"; or "multiplied by" : [10 raised exponentially to the power of <u> </u> ]._____________________________________________________
And to find that power, we take the "rewritten integer value (i.e. "whole number value that as been rewritten to a single digit with a decimal point"); and count the [number of "trailing zeros"; if there are any; PLUS the number of decimal places one goes] ; and that number is the value to which "10" is raised.
{If there are none, we write: " * 10⁰ " ; since "any value, raised to the "zero power", equals "1" ; so " * 10⁰ " ; is like writing: " * 1 " .
If there are "trailing zeros" AND/OR or any number of decimal places, to the "right" of this expression; the combined number of spaces to the right is:
{ the numeric value (i.e. positive number) of the power to which "10" is raised }.
Likewise, if there are "trailing zeros" AND/OR or any number of decimal places, to the "LEFT" of this expression; the combined number of spaces to the LEFT is the value of the power which "10" is raised to; is that number—which is a negative value.
In our case: we have: 0.000000000175 * 10^(-10) .
Note: The original notation was:
→ " 0.000000000175 m "
{that is: "175" [with 9 (nine) zeros to the left].}.
We rewrite the "175" ("integer expression") as:
"1.75" .
____________________________________________________
So we have:
→ " 0.000000000175 m " ;
Think of this value as:
" 0. 0000000001{pseudo-decimal point}75 m ".
And count the number of decimal spaces "backward" from the
"pseudo-decimal point" to the actual decimal; and you will see that there are "10" spaces (to the left).
______________________________________________________
Also note: We started with "9 (nine)" preceding "zeros" before the "1" ; now we are considering the "1" as an "additional digit" ;
→ "9 + 1 = 10" .
______________________________________________________
Since the decimals (and zeros) come BEFORE (precede) the "175" ; that is, to the "left" of the "175" ; the exponent to which the "10" is raised is:
"NEGATIVE TEN" { "-10" } .
So we write this value as: " 1.75 * 10^(-10) m " .
{NOTE: Do not forget the units of measurement; which are "meters" —which can be abbreviateds as: "m" .} .
______________________________________________________
The answer is: " 1.75 * 10^(-10) m " .
