When an element tends to lose its valence electrons in chemical reactions , it behaves more like a When an element tends to gain valence electrons in chemical reactions, it behaves more like a Elements that have an intermediate sumber of valente electrons behave more like metals if they are v in a group, and more like nonmetals if they are in a group. If they are they will behave like metanoids with a combination of both characteristics .

1. metal

2. nonmetal

3. lower

4. higher

5. in the middle

Explanation:

100% Correct of answers    your welcome :)

4.) metal

"-the movement of carbon from the nonliving environment into living things and back to the environment

-carbon is the essential component of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates (which make up all organisms)

-carbon exists in air, water, and living organisms

-producers convert carbon dioxide in the atmosphere into carbohydrates during photosynthesis

-bacteria in the atmosphere cycles through the system in filtration units

-in cellular respiration, carbon is released back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide

-some carbon is stored in limestone (forming one of the largest "carbon sinks" on earth)

-largest carbon reservoir on earth= limestone

-carbon stored in the bodies of organisms as fat, oils, or other molecules may be released into the soil or air when the organism dies

-this may form deposits of coal, oil, or natural gas (fossil fuels, which increased the atmospheric carbon dioxide)

-fossil fuels store carbon left over from bodies of organisms that died millions of years ago

-they are located in the surface of earth, deep within the earth and beneath the ocean floor."    

that is true   : ) hope this you
