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.
We can also think about this trend in terms of metals vs. nonmetals. We know that metals are found on the left side of the periodic table and tend to lose electrons to form ions, while nonmetals are on the right side and tend to gain electrons to form ions. Therefore, less energy will be required to remove an electron from a metal than from a nonmetal (within the same principal energy level).
