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.
Yes. It does contain Ions.
Answer:
In a neutral molecule, the sum of the bonding valance electrons must be equal. So the products of the negative element and its charges and the positive element and its charge must be equal.
Explanation:
C1×N1 = C2×N2
If we have a 3 valance electrons , the 'A' charge will be either +3 or -5 for a full octet and valance electron in 'B' atoms will mostly result in acquisition of additional electrons (2) for an octet and relative charge of -2.
Balancing the two,
3 × A = -2 × B
To be equal, A = 2 and B = 3
Therefore, A²B³
<span>If the aqueous solution is 34% Licl then it is 100 - 34% water = 66%
From the calculation we've found out that it is 66% water. Then we need to find the weight from a 250 g solution.
66/100 * 250 = 165g
Hence it is 165g</span>
