valence shell, which is the outermost occupied shell. By filling the valence shell, the atom becomes more stable. There are different ways that atoms can bond with one another: by sharing electrons (forming a covalent bond) or by donating or taking electrons (forming an ionic bond).

Why are alkali metals so reactive?

Savatey [412]

Answer:

Alkali metals are among the most reactive metals. This is due in part to their larger atomic radii and low ionization energies. They tend to donate their electrons in reactions and have an oxidation state of +1. ... All these characteristics can be attributed to these elements' large atomic radii and weak metallic bonding.

Which of these refers to the concentration of an acid?

andrezito [222]

The concentration of an acid IS A MEASURE OF THE QUANTITY OF ACID DISSOLVED IN WATER THAT IS DESIGNATED BY MOLARITY.

Acids are always aqueous solutions, that is they are always dissolved in water. The concentration of an acid refers to the quantity of hydrogen ions that are present in the acid. If an acid contain a large quantity of hydrogen ion, it will be described as concentrated acid and if it contains a little quantity of hydrogen ion it will be described as diluted acid. The quantity of hydrogen ion [pH] in acids ranges from 1 to 6; 1 is very acid acidic and 6 is the least acidic.
