A student is working on an assignment exploring the characteristics and uses of titanium. He notes in his assignment that it is widely recognized that titanium is 45% lighter than steel, and then comments on some innovative research testing the use of titanium in components of airplanes. Should he:

Acknowledge the source of relative weight of titanium.

Explanation:

Titanium is a chemical element which durable form of metal. Titanium is 45% lighter than steel. Titanium is made by combination of multiple elements. Titanium is very difficult to extract and this is the reason this element is considered expensive. The students examining the titanium must record the weight of titanium before exploring the characteristics and properties.

explanation:

metals have excess of electrons whereas non-metals have deficiency of electrons. thus, in order to gain stability metals easily donate their electrons to the non-metals.

for example, electronic configuration of sodium is and electronic configuration of phosphorous is .

when a phosphorous atom and sodium atom combine together then sodium will donate is extra one electron to the phosphorous atom. as a result there will be formation of ionic bond between sodium and phosphorous.

the reaction will be as follows.

there, are three sodium sodium atoms and each of them will donate its one extra electron to phosphorous atom. thus, the sub-shell of phosphorous gets completely filled.  

thus, we can conclude that electrons are transferred from atoms of sodium to atoms of phosphorous. this transfer makes the sodium atoms donate one electron and the phosphorous atoms to gain one electron. as a result, the sodium and phosphorus atoms strongly attract each other.
