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.
Recall that in an ionic bond, there is a TRANSFER of electrons. Metals, in general, tend to LOSE their electrons when they form bonds. Nonmetals, on the other hand, tend to GAIN electrons when they form bonds. Mg then gives off its 2 electrons to 2 Cl atoms. Therefore, an ionic bond is formed.
