Answer:

The metal is most likely Sodium.

Explanation:

Iron is not soft enough to be cut with a knife and will not react violently with water.  When Iron reacts with water it just slowly rusts.

Copper is somewhat malleable, however, does not really react with water and only forms an oxide layer in the air.

Sodium is soft enough to be cut with a knife (I know this because I have worked with it and seen people work with it).  It is also an alkali metal which are known to explode when in water.

Gold is malleable but does not really react with anything and is considered inert.

Schach [20]

Answer:

N and P

Explanation:

Anion:

When an atom gain the electrons anion is formed. The negative sign shows that atom gain electron because number of electron are greater than protons or we can say that negative charge becomes greater than positive charge.

Cation:

When atom lose electron cation is formed. The atom thus have positive charge because number of positive charge i.e protons are increased are greater than negative charge or electron.

In given problem N and phosphorus both can gain three electrons which means negative charge becomes greater that's why the extra electron gained by atoms are written as -3 and both form anion with charge -3.

while Al form cation with charge +3 Mg form cation with charge +2 and iodine and bromine both form anion with charge of -1.
