What else can I help you with?
What will happen to a positively charge rod brought close to positively charged rod - give a reason?
since similar charge repell each other.... the rods ll experience repulsion
Do metals gain electrons in ionic bonds?
No, metals typically lose electrons in ionic bonds to form positively charged ions. Metals have low electronegativity, so they have a tendency to give up electrons to nonmetals with higher electronegativity in order to achieve a stable electron configuration.
Give you examples to non-metals end with 'um'?
Helium
What are properties on non metals and examples?
non metals give acidic oxides e.g S,Cetc
Why alkali metals and alkali earth metals can form cation?
The properties of alkali earth metals and alkaline metals want to give up or share their valence electrons when bonding with a non-metal or polyatomic ion. For example, Sodium (Na) has a single valence electron, and if it bonds with Chlorine (Cl) which has seven valence electrons, Sodium would give up and share it's electron with Chlorine. Because an electron is negatively charged, and a proton, inside the nucleus, is positively charged, the Sodium atom has one less negative charge, and one more positive charge, rendering the ionic charge no longer neutral but +1. This is why metals are able to form cations.
Is metal a electron lender?
Yes, metals are electron donors, meaning they tend to lose electrons to form positively charged ions. This is why metals are good conductors of electricity, as they have mobile electrons that can move throughout the material.
What are electropositive metals?
Electropositive metals are metals that have a tendency to lose electrons and form cations in chemical reactions. These metals typically have low electronegativity and easily give away their outer electrons to achieve a more stable electron configuration. Examples of electropositive metals include alkali metals like sodium and alkaline earth metals like magnesium.
Do alkali metals give or take electrons?
Alkali metals tend to give away electrons, forming positively charged ions. This is because alkali metals have one electron in their outermost shell, making it energetically favorable for them to lose this electron and achieve a stable electron configuration.
What part of the atom causes the nucleus to have a positive charge?
The protons in the nucleus are positively charged, and their presence is what gives the nucleus an overall positive charge. Electrons balance this positive charge with their negative charge, resulting in a neutral atom.
What types of atoms easily lose electrons?
These with a positive charge.
What is Positively charged particles located in the nucleus of an atom?
This particle is the proton.
Explain Trace metals Heavy metals Give examples?
Poisoning and disease can occur due to human exposure to trace quantities of heavy metals. Common trace metals include mercury (Hg), arsenic (Ar) and lead (Pb).
