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.
Best Answer: Alkali metals tend to lose one electron and form ions with a single positive charge. So in water it loses one electron and produces hydroxide and hydrogen gas, and itself + ion. Reason why as you go down the group and reaction get violent because elements' radii are increasing as you go down the group, which means that element easily loses electron.
