Answer:

- They are highly reactive metals

- They have low electro negativity

- They have low ionization energy

- They don't exist alone in nature

- They have low densities

Explanation:

Alkali metals are the elements in group 1 of the periodic table. They include Sodium, Lithium, Potassium e.t.c.

Due to the fact they have one atom in their outermost shell, they are very unstable because they easily react with other elements and are therefore don't exist alone in nature but combined with other elements for this same reason.

Since alkali metals don't easily attract other elements due to it's lone pair in the outer most shell, it can be said to have low electro negativity.

Also, they don't need energy to discharge their electrons since they are highly reactive due to their lone pair in the outermost shell and so we say they have low ionization energy.

Due to this reason, they also have low densities.

Answer:  See below

Explanation:  a.  The mass of an element is composed of:

protons:     1 amu each

neutrons:   1 amu each

electrons:   0 amu each

Only the protons and neutrons are counted in the atomic mass of an element

b.  Electrons are assigned a mass of 0.  They do have a mass, but it is exceedingly small compared to the protons and neutrons, so they are left out of the calculation of an element's mass.

c.  An element becomes unstable if the neutrons exceed the protons by a certain ratio, dependent on the element.

If acid precipitation rain changes the ph of a pond from 7.0 to 5.0, the level of hydrogen ion has changed by a factor of ______
Karolina [17]
When pH=7, [H⁺] =10⁻⁷.
When pH=5, [H⁺]=10⁻⁵.

10⁻⁵/10⁻⁷ =10²=100
The level of hydrogen ions increased by factor 100.

How are Epigenetic tags different from genes?​
meriva
Quick look: In its modern sense, epigenetics is the term used to describe inheritance by mechanisms other than through the DNA sequence of genes. It can apply to characteristics passed from a cell to its daughter cells in cell division and to traits of a whole organism
