Why do metals tend to lose electrons to form positive ions?
a) they hold on tightly to electrons.
b) a metals atom loses its few valence electrons to form a full octet.
c) they conduct electricity, which makes them lose their electrons
d) the positive ions that are formed when metals lose electrons are more reactive than the neutral metals

Achemistry student weighs out of phosphoric acid , a triprotic acid, into a volumetric flask and dilutes to the mark with distilled water. he plans to titrate the acid with solution. calculate the volume of solution the student will need to add to reach the final equivalence point. round your answer to significant digits.

Nebulae are enormous clouds in outer space. they are made mostly of hydrogen gas, helium gas, and dust. some nebulae glow brightly, while others do not. the stars that people see are huge, bright balls of glowing gas. they are made mostly of hydrogen and helium. which statement correctly describes other ways in which nebulae and stars are different? a. stars can form inside a nebula but a nebula can never be produced by any star. b. a star always has a higher density than a nebula. c. stars can never form inside a nebula but a nebula can be produced by any star. d. a nebula always has a higher density than a star.

Calculate the estimated density of each ball. use the formula d = m/v where d is the density, m is the mass, and v is the volume. record your calculations in table a of your student guide. given that the density of water is 1.0 g/cm3, make a prediction about whether each ball will float in water. record your prediction in table a. what is the estimated density of the table tennis ball? record your answer to the nearest hundredth
