Cans aren't entirely made of tin because of rusting. When scratched(which happens quite frequently to cans) the tin is in more danger of rusting. This is why the cans are coated in a layer of tin rather than the whole can is made of it.
Explanation:
The electrons in the outermost shell of an atom are the valence electrons. These electrons are the most loosely held in an atom.
The energy required to remove these electrons are not as great as those of the inner shell electrons.
- Atoms of some elements show no tendency to combine with other atoms because they have completely filled outer energy levels.
- Their outermost shell, valence shell and the electron numbers are complete for them. These are the noble gases.
- other atoms share or exchange their valence electrons in order to have a stable configuration.
- The valence electrons are involve in inter-atomic bond formation and interactions
- Also the distribution of these electrons determines inter-molecular interactions between molecules.

Wave speed = 760m/s
Answer:
E. potassium (K) and bromine (Br)
Explanation:
An ionic bond is formed between compounds with a large electronegativity difference between them. It is usually between a metal and non-metal.
- Potassium is a true metal found in group 1 on the periodic table.
- Bromine is a highly electronegative non-metal which is a halogen.
- Potassium will lose one of its electrons which will be gained by the Bromine.
- The electrostatic attraction between the two species will cause the ionic bond to form.
- The ability of one specie willing to lose electron and the other gaining, is the main bed rock of ionic bonding.
