Explanation:
Metals are the species which readily lose electrons in order to attain stability. This electron lost by the atom is actually present in its outermost shell which is also known as valence shell.
Ionization energy is defined as the energy required to remove the most loosely bound electron from a neutral gaseous atom.
When we move across a period from left to right then there occurs a decrease in atomic size of the atoms. Therefore, ionization energy increases along a period.
But when we move down a group then there occurs an increase in atomic size of the atoms due to addition of number of electrons in the atoms. Hence, ionization energy decreases along a group.
Thus, we can conclude that metals have low ionization energies and readily share their valence or outer electrons with each other to form an electron sea. These electrons are delocalized or shared among all the atoms that are bonded together and can therefore move freely throughout the metal structure.

Explanation:
The IUPAC name of aspirin is 2-Acetoxybenzoic acid. It is composed of an acetoxy moiety and a benzoic acid moiety.
The compound can be hydrolysed under prolonged storage conditions to yield acetic acid which causes the vinegar like odour.
Also, one of the products of this hydrolysis bears a phenol group which reacts with FeCl3 to give a purple color.
The correct answer is C the suns energy from the earth
The reactivity of a metal is determined by these things.
Firstly, the number of electrons in the outer shell; the fewer the number of electrons in the outer shell, the more reactive the metal.
The number of electron shells also affects reactivity, the more electron shells there are, the more reactive the metal.
Answer:
For a particular chemical reaction, the enthalpy of the reactants is -400 kJ. The enthalpy of the products is -390 kJ. The entropy of the reactants is 0.2 kJ/K. The entropy of the products is 0.3 kJ/K. The temperature of the reaction is 25oC. What can you conclude about this reaction?
It is exergonic
It is endergonic
it is a redox reaction
It is being catalyzed by an enzyme
