The low values (23 to 30 dynes/cm) result in easy wetting of most materials, which is helpful for. lubricity and other properties. Electrical Properties. The typical volume resistivity of Halocarbon oil is in the range. of 1013 to 1014 ohm-cm. The dielectric constant is quite low.
When metals form ions, they tend to do so by losing their electrons  to gain a positive charge. Losing negatively charged electrons  causes the metals to become more positiv â¦ e due to having more  protons.
Ions are formed when an atom either gains or loses electrons. A normal atom has equal numbers of protons (positively charged) and electrons (negatively charged). When an electron is lost, the resulting ion is now positively charged (called a cation). Most metals are prone to losing electrons.
