Answer is: because alkaline metals (group IA metals) are the strongest reducing agents and most reactive metals.
Reducing agent<span> is an element or compound that loses an </span>electron<span> to another </span>chemical species<span> in a </span>redox <span>chemical reaction and they have been oxidized.
Alkaline metals tend to lose only one electron in redox reaction.</span>
Answer:
Discovery of electron while studying the properties of cathode ray by Thomson suggested that Dalton atomic model should be revised.
Explanation:
Electron was discovered by j. j. Thomson in 1897 during the study of cathode ray properties.
He constructed the glass tube and create vacuum in it. He applied electric current between electrodes. He noticed that a ray of particles coming from cathode to wards positively charged anode. This ray was cathode ray.
Properties of cathode ray:
The ray is travel in straight line.
The cathode ray is independent of composition of cathode.
When electric field is applied cathode ray is deflected towards the positively charged plate.
Hence it was consist of negatively charged particles.
Symbol= e-
Mass= 9.10938356×10-31 Kg
The electron is subatomic particle that revolve around outside the nucleus and has negligible mass. It has a negative charge.
Frequency.
The equation to find the velocity of a wave length is:
v=fλ
V stands for velocity
F stands for frequency
λ stands for wavelength
3 is C i believe, and as for 4 minerals are solid, natural.. that's about all I can say...
