Which of the following correctly describes the "sea of electrons" that forms metallic bonds? - metals lose electrons to nonmetals
- metals pass electrons
around from one metal atom to another metal atom
- metal atoms lose one electron at a time until they are all gone
- metals have an unending ability to take electrons away from other materials

Nonpoint source pollution is difficult to control because it

Balance and in which category does it fit in? single or double displacement or synthesis or decomposition? (a) k2 o → k + o2 (b) na + i2 → nai (c) cu(no3 )2 + naoh → cu(oh)2 + nano3 (d) kclo3 → kcl + o2 (e) ca(no3 )2 + hbr → cabr2 + hno3 (f) sn(oh)2 → sno + h2 o (g) p4 + n2 o → p4 o6 + n2 (h) fe + al2 (so4 )3 → feso4 + al (i) alcl3 + na2 co3 → al2 (co3 )3 + nacl (j) c3 h6 + o2 → co2 + h2 o

Astable electron arrangement for an atom is one that does not easily change. how is this arrangement arrived at? a. valence electrons are transferred or shared to create a full outer shell of electrons. b. valence electrons are discarded into space to create a full outer shell of electrons. c. protons (positive charge) pair with valence electrons (negative charge) to create a strong bond. d. outer shells with valence electrons are transferred or shared.
