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.
Metalloids can be shiny or dull and can conduct heat and electricity better than nonmetals but not as well as metals. They are ductile and malleable. To the right of the stairstep, elements gain electrons when bonding. To the left of the stairstep, elements lose electrons when bonding. They are found on the border between the metals and the nonmetals, from groups 13 to 17 and periods 2 to 6. 3. Describe the trends in atomic size, ionization energy, and electronegativity from left to right across a period in the periodic table. Within a period, the size of atoms decreases from left to right.
