<u>Answer:</u> Non-metals form ions when they gain electrons.
<u>Explanation:</u>
An ion is formed when an atom looses or gains electron.
- When an atom looses electrons, it will form a positive ion known as cation.
- When an atom gains electrons, it will form a negative ion known as anion.
Metals are the elements which have a tendency to loose electrons and thus they form cations. <u>Example:</u> Sodium will loose 1 electron to form 
ion.
Non-metals are the elements which have a tendency to gain electrons and thus they form anions. <u>Example:</u> Fluorine will gain 1 electron to form 
ion.
Hence, non-metals form ions when they gain electrons.
Answer:
STANDARD: 0.085 mi, 450 ft, or 150 yds
METRIC: 0.137 km, 137.16 m, or 13716 cm
Explanation:
Answer: C. High surface tension
Explanation:
Water has high specific heat as it require high heat to raise the temperature of 1 g of water through 
.
Surface tension is the net downward force acting on the surface of liquids due to the cohesive nature of liquids.
Water molecules are bonded by strong hydrogen bonding between the hydrogen atom and the electronegative oxygen atom making it polar. Thus water molecules present on the surface are strongly attracted by the molecules present below the surface and thus act as a stretched membrane.
The surface acquires a minimum surface are and thus acquire a spherical shape.
