Four point charges are at the corners of a square of side a as shown in the figure. (a) Determine the magnitude
and direction of the electric field at the location of
charge q. (b) What is the resultant force on q?

It won't lose or gain electrons if it's a covalent bond it shares the electrons with another atom or atoms. if it is an ionic bond it will lose the 3 electrons on the outer shell and become a positively charged ion.  credit goes to @sunshinebaby of answers.yahoo.com.

Molybdeum(mo)orruthenium (ru)actually, elements with similar chemical properties as technetium would bemn, re, and bh. this is because elements in the same group/family (column) have similar chemical properties. elements in the same period (row) have the same number of energy levels (or shells).

Ohm's law tells you that i = v/r where v is equivalent voltage and r is equivalent resistance of the circuit
since all circuits have the same voltage, your question is really asking which circuit has the lowest total resistance, since the lower the resistance, the higher the current
circuit a has a resistance of 5 ohms; circuit c is in series so has a resistance of 10 ohms; circuit b is in parallel and therefore has a resistance of 2.5 ohms (review your notes on adding resistances in parallel and series); therefore b has the highest current
