Metals usually form cations because they like to lose electrons to get a full octet.
Nonmetals usually form anions because they like to gain electrons to get a full octet.
Aluminum will lose 3 electrons to form a cation
Beryllium will lose 2 electrons to form a cation
Copper can lose either 1 or 2 electrons to form a cation.
Silicon can gain 4 electrons to form an anion.
Your correct answer is silicon.

The specific gravity of a sample is the ratio of the density of the sample with respect to one standard sample. The standard sample used in specific gravity calculation is water whose density is 1 g/mL. The solution having specific gravity 1.30 is the density of the sample that is 1.30 g/mL. Thus the weight of the 30 mL sample is (30×1.30) = 39 g.
Now the mass of the 10 mL of water is 10 g as density of water is 10 g/mL. Thus after addition the total mass of the solution is (39 + 10) = 49g and the volume is (30 + 10) = 40 mL. Thus the density of the mixture will be 
g/mL. Thus the specific gravity of the mixed sample will be 1.225 g/mL.
<span>Answer:
Moles Ca(NO3)2 = 100 x 0.250 / 1000 = 0.025
Ca(NO3)2 >> Ca2+ + 2NO3-
Moles NO3- = 2 x 0.025 = 0.05
Moles HNO3 = 400 x 0.100 / 1000 = 0.04
Total moles = 0.05 + 0.04 = 0.09
Total volume = 500 ml = 0.500 L
M = 0.09 / 0.500 = 0.18</span>
