The answer is: lose electrons and form positive ions.
Most metals have strong metallic bond, because of strong electrostatic attractive force between valence electrons (metals usually have low ionization energy and lose electrons easy) and positively charged metal ions.
The ionization energy (Ei) is the minimum amount of energy required to remove the valence electron, when element lose electrons, oxidation number of element grows (oxidation process).
For example, magnesium has atomic number 12, which means it has 12 protons and 12 electrons. It lost two electrons to form magnesium cation (Mg²⁺) with stable electron configuration like closest noble gas neon (Ne) with 10 electrons.
Electron configuration of magnesium ion: ₁₂Mg²⁺ 1s² 2s² 2p⁶.
It has to do with the releasing of ethylene, which speeds up the ripening process
Answer: Yes we agree with the student's claim.
Explanation:
When the molecules are present in smaller size, more reactants can react as decreasing the size increases the surface area of the reactants which will enhance the contact of molecules.Hence, more products will form leading to increased rate of reaction.
On increasing the temperature will make more reactant molecules will have sufficient energies to cross the energy barrier and thus the number of effective collisions increases, thus leading to more products and increased rate of reaction.
When the solution is stirred , the molecule's kinetic energy and thus the rate of reaction increases.
Thus smaller size, stirring and increase of temperature will make the solution quickly.
It should be B. All of the other choices are used often by abusers
A MOLECULE
A molecule is a true representative of a covalent bond.
