Most strings of outdoor lights are wired in a parallel circuit. Which of the following is the best reason why a string of outdoor lights should be wired in a parallel circuit and not a series circuit? A. Parallel circuits are safer to use than series circuits.
B. The lights in a parallel circuit will light up brighter than the lights in a series circuit.
C. If one light in the string burns out in a parallel circuit, the rest of the lights will continue to shine.
D. You need to use more wires to construct a series circuit than a parallel circuit.

C.If one light in the string burns out in a parallel circuit, the rest of the lights will continue to shine.

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.
