Metals are the elements that usually lose electrons in their chemical reactions. This is because they have few electrons in their outermost shells which are easily lost.

Would you expect calcium to gain or lose electrons in a chemical reactions?

Calcium is expected to lose electrons in a chemical reaction because it is a metal located in group 2 of the periodic table, which typically loses electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. Calcium will typically form a 2+ cation by losing 2 electrons in reactions.


Would you expect cesium element 55 to be more or less reactive than potassium?

I would expect cesium, element 55, to be more reactive than potassium. This is because cesium is further down the alkali metal group in the periodic table, making it more eager to lose an electron compared to potassium.


What type of bond would you expect 39k19 to form?

39K19 refers to the element potassium. Potassium is an alkali metal that tends to form ionic bonds due to its tendency to lose an electron and achieve a stable octet configuration. Therefore, you would expect 39K19 to form ionic bonds with other elements by donating its one valence electron.


What chemical properties would you expect caesium to have?

Caesium is freshly cut, it have a metallic shine, but this disappears rapidly due to reaction of exposed metal surface with oxygen in the air
