The
Earth is composed of four different layers. Many geologists believe
that as the Earth cooled the heavier, denser materials sank to the
center and the lighter materials rose to the top. Because of this, the
crust is made of the lightest materials (rock- basalts and granites) and
the core consists of heavy metals (nickel and iron).
<span>The crust is the layer that you live on, and it is the most widely studied and understood. The mantle
is much hotter and has the ability to flow. The Outer and Inner Cores
are hotter still with pressures so great that you would be squeezed into
a ball smaller than a marble if you were able to go to the center of
the Earth!!!!!!</span>
Answer:
They are classified as METALS.
Explanation:
Elements are simple substances that cannot be chemically broken down into smaller substances. Based on different characteristics, they are classified into 3 namely:
- metals
- non metals and
- metalloid( mainly act as semi- conductor).
METALS are the type of elements that loses electrons to form positive ion, that is, they are electropositive elements. They are distinguished by the following characteristics:
- LUSTROUS: they have the ability to reflect light from its surface.
- At room temperature: Metals are solid are room temperature with the exception of Mercury which is liquid at room temperature.
- They react and form Basic Compounds
- Great conductor: most metals are great conductors of heat and electricity because they possess free electrons.
- Melting Point: they have high melting points.
Answer:
Na the valency electrons is 1
The ion charge is positive 1
K the valency electrons is 1
The ion charge is positive 1
Explanation:
Mg the valency electron is 2 The ion charge is positive 2
Ca the valency electron is 2 The ion charge is positive 2
Al the valency electron is 3 The ion charge is positive 3
O the valency electron is 2 The ion charge
is negative 2
F the valency electron is 1 The ion charge is negative 1
Cl the valency electron is 1 The ion charge
is negative 1
N the valency electron is 3 The ion charge is negative 3
S the valency electron is 2 The ion charge is
negative 2
