Factors affecting network performance Not all networks are the same. As data is broken into component parts (often known frames, packets, or segments) for transmission, several factors can affect their delivery.
It is sometimes strange to see what elements combine to make a compound. Sodium, a soft metal which fizzes violently when put into water, and chlorine, a poisonous gas, make sodium chloride (NaCl), otherwise known as common salt! The elements are usually arranged in the Periodic Table.
The alkali metals make up Group 1 of the periodic table. This family consists of the elements lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, and francium (Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, and Fr, respectively). Group one elements share common characteristics.They are all soft, silver metals.Due to their low ionization energy, these metals have low melting points and are highly reactive.his family consists of the elements lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, and francium (Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, and Fr, respectively).
