If I needed to make a carbonated drink (soda), what steps would I
need to take in order to make sure the drink was sweet but stayed
carbonated? How would I make sure the sugar was able to dissolve?
How would I make sure the drink would stay carbonated?
Please help.

Explanation:

The simplest way ta make a carbonated drink is to use seltzer water, club soda, or sparkling mineral water.

1. To sweeten the drink

You could use honey instead of sugar to sweeten your drink. To make a simple honey syrup, just combine some honey with water and heat on medium-high until the honey has dissolved. Then, set it aside to cool.

2. To make sure the drink stays carbonated

To keep the CO₂ from escaping, you could seal the bottle with a wine bottle stopper  — like the one below — or a simple rubber stopper.

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.

metals are good conductor of electricity. it has free electrons on their surface. according to electron pool theory, each atom present in a metal crystal losses all of its valence electron and as a result a pool of free is form. these pool of electrons are free to move and   conduct electricity easily   while making metal as good conductor.

the correct answer is a. the ability of electrons to flow throughout the metal.
