Answer:
Metals lose electrons to become cations.
Explanation:
For example, sodium loses an electron to become a sodium cation.
Na· ⟶ Na⁺ + e⁻
A is <em>wrong</em>. Nonmetals gain electrons to become anions.
B is <em>wrong</em>. Metals lose electrons.
D is <em>wrong</em>. Nonmetals gain electrons to become anions.
The correct answer among the choices listed above is option D. The average kinetic energy of water molecules as water freeze <span>decreases as water releases energy to its surroundings. Energy is released as the molecules go into a more condensed phase which is the solid.</span>
Ideal gas law:
PV=nRT ⇒ V=nRT / P
P=pressure=1 atm
V=volume
n=number moles=2.10 moles
R=0,082 Atm l/ºK mol
T=temperature=273 K
V=(2.10 moles*0.082 (atm l)/º(K mol)*237ºK) / 1 atm=47.01 litres
47.1 L
Carbonates
OPTION A is the correct answer
