Aparticular atom becomes more energetically stable when it loses a single electron. it is most likely an atom of which of the following elements?
magnesium (mg)
cesium (cs)
fluorine (f)
boron (b)

Cesium (Cs)

Explanation:

Elements lose or gain electrons in their valence shell so as to maintain stability by either forming duplets or octet configuration. I.e 2 electrons in its outer shell to form duplet or 8 in its outer shell to form octet configurations. All metals with exception of Metalloids lose electrons in its outer shell corresponding to its group number to form stability. I.e group 1 elements lose 1 electrons to form stability, group two elements lose 2 electrons, group 3 and so on. From the elements listed above, Cesium is a group 1 element and it will require to lose 1 electron so as to form stability. Magnesium (Mg) loses 2 electrons to form stability, Fluorine (F) a non metal from group (vii) requires 1 electron to be stable and boron a group (v) element would need 3 electrons to form stability.

the volume of fluid displaced would equal the volume of the gas. use a gas syringe - this is a laboratory instrument that can be used to withdraw a certain volume of gas from a closed system or to measure the volume of gas from a chemical reaction.

a boiling water reactor does not boil the water. a pressurized water reactor boils the water faster. a pressurized water reactor is heated directly by the core. a pressurized water reactor does not use fission.
