In what ways is a model similar to the thing it represents? A. A model must be identical to the thing it represents in every way.
B. model can be different from the thing it represents in either its size or the materials it is made of.
C. A model must be identical to the thing it represents in every way except that it can be made out of different materials.
D. A model must be identical to the thing it represents in every way except that it can be a different size.

A

Explanation: A model has to be identical to the thing it represents in every way, or people may think something is different than it actually is, because they see it in the model. The answer to the question is A.

in cartography, a contour line (often just called a "contour") joins points of equal elevation (height) above a given level, such as mean sea level. a contour map is a map illustrated with contour lines, for example a topographic map, which thus shows valleys and hills, and the steepness or gentleness of slopes.

explanation:

alkaline metals are lithium, sodium, rubidium, potassium, cesium and francium.

alkali metals have electronegativity from 0.7 to 1, lowest in periodic table of elements, which means that alkali metals (i group in periodic table) has positive oxidation number in compounds.

electronegativity is a chemical property that describes the tendency of an atom to attract a shared pair of electrons towards itself.

alkaline metals (far left in main group) have lowest ionizations energy and easy remove valence electrons,

for example, potassium is the alkali metal and has a single valence electron in the outer electron shell.

electron configuration of potassium is: ₁₉k 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s¹.

they can not exist alone in nature, because they are very reactive.
