Explanation:
A metal with one valence electron is highly reactive compared to those with more than one electron.
Atoms including those of metals reacts in order attain a stable electronic configuration just like those of noble gases.
An atom with one valence electron have just one electron in its valence shell.
- Metals generally have large sizes.
- when the electron in this shell is lost, the metal atom can then attain stability.
- therefore, such atom will quickly want to combine with any other willing to accept the electron so that they can be stable.
- Those with more than one electron will find it difficult to lose them.
- It requires huge energy to remove such electrons compared to the ones with only one valence electron.

A heat because heat is the transfer of energy.
Answer:
Explanation:
The chemical equation is:
There are several definitions of acid and bases: Arrhenius', Bronsted-Lowry's and Lewis'.
Bronsted-Lowry model defines and <em>acid</em> as a donor of protons, H⁺.
In the given equation HNO₃ is such substance: it releases an donates its hdyrogen to form the H₃O⁺ ion.
On the other hand, a <em>base</em> is a substance that accepts protons.
In the reaction shown, H₂O accepts the proton from HNO₃ to form H₃O⁺.
Thus, H₂O is a base.
In turn, on the reactant sides the substances can be classified as acids or bases.
H₃O⁺ contain an hydrogen that can be donated and form H₂O; thus, it is an acid (the conjugated acid), and NO₃⁻ can accept a proton to form HNO₃; thus it is a base (the conjugated base).
