The answer is: lose electrons and form positive ions.
Most metals have strong metallic bond, because of strong electrostatic attractive force between valence electrons (metals usually have low ionization energy and lose electrons easy) and positively charged metal ions.
The ionization energy (Ei) is the minimum amount of energy required to remove the valence electron, when element lose electrons, oxidation number of element grows (oxidation process).
For example, magnesium has atomic number 12, which means it has 12 protons and 12 electrons. It lost two electrons to form magnesium cation (Mg²⁺) with stable electron configuration like closest noble gas neon (Ne) with 10 electrons.
Electron configuration of magnesium ion: ₁₂Mg²⁺ 1s² 2s² 2p⁶.
It could be a tide pool but this is pretty vague
The theoretical proportion is given by the balanced chemical equation:
2 mol NBr / 3 mol Na OH
Then x mol NaOH / 40 mol NBr3 = 3mol NaOH/2 mol NBr3
Solve for x, x = 40 * 3/2 = 60 mol NaOH.
Given that there are 48 mol NaOH (less than 60) this is the limitant reactant and the other is the excess reactant.
Answer: NBr3..
Answer:
35.75 days
Explanation:
From the given information:
For first-order kinetics, the rate law can be expressed as:

Given that:
the rate degradation constant = 0.12 / day
current concentration C = 0.05 mg/L
initial concentration C₀ = 3.65 mg/L

㏑(0.01369863014) = -(0.12) t
-4.29 = -(0.12)
t = -4.29/-0.12
t = 35.75 days
