Which statement describes the structure of an atom?
(1) The nucleus contains positively charged
electrons.
(2) The nucleus contains negatively charged
protons.
(3) The nucleus has a positive charge and is
surrounded by negatively charged electrons.
(4) The nucleus has a negative charge and is
surrounded by positively charged electrons.

the nucleus contains negatively charged protons

passing a magnet thought the

mixture , because iron gets attracted to magnet .

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.
