Given a scientific passage and an answer, generate a question for the given answer.

[Q]: Passage: A metallic bond is the force of attraction between a positive metal ion and the valence electrons that surround itboth its own valence electrons and those of other ions of the same metal. The ions and electrons form a lattice-like structure. Only metals, such as the copper pictured in the Figure below , form metallic bonds. Answer: metallic bond
[A]: What is the force of attraction between a positive metal ion and valence electrons?

[Q]: Passage: By losing an electron, the sodium atom becomes a sodium ion. It now has one less electron than protons, giving it a charge of +1. Positive ions such as sodium are given the same name as the element. The chemical symbol has a plus sign to distinguish the ion from an atom of the element. The symbol for a sodium ion is Na + . Answer: becomes sodium ion
[A]: What happens when a sodium atom loses an electron?

[Q]: Passage: The strength of bases is measured on a scale called the pH scale, which ranges from 0 to 14. On this scale, a pH value of 7 indicates a neutral solution, and a pH value greater than 7 indicates a basic solution. The higher the pH value is, the stronger the base. The strongest bases, such as drain cleaner, have a pH value close to 14. Answer: ph scale
[A]:
The strength of bases is measured on what scale?
