When you drive your car, you use the gasoline to produce energy which exerts the oil thay was put into the car, would then from it into a cloud or puff of gas which pollutes the air, rises through the atmosphere, and eats away at the Ozone Layer.
Answer:
In Cl
, the 2 is a subscript because it indicates there are 2 of the same elements. The Lewis structure would display it as Cl-Cl.
On the other hand, a superscript would indicate a specific charge.
All subscripts show the amount of the specific element there is.
An example would be O
or N
, they both show that there are 2 of the same elements.
If the subscript is outside a parenthesis such as
it indicates there are 2
molecules.
Here’s what I found:
It takes very little energy to remove that outermost electron from an alkali metal. Thus, alkali metals easily lose their outermost electron to become a +1 ion. ... In fact, as you go down the 1A column, the first ionization energies get lower and lower, making cesium the most easily ionized element on the periodic table.
So basically it’s because part of what makes alkali metals so reactive is that they have one electron in their outermost electron layer.
You can reduce wind erosion by providing a protective plant cover for the soil.
