metallic bonds are responsible for many properties of metals, such as conductivity. why is this possible?(1 point)

Chemistry
1 answer:
USPshnik [31]2 years ago
7 0

Answer and Explanation:

<em>Metallic bonding occurs between two or the same metals. In a metallic bonding structure, there is an electrostatic attraction between the positive metal ions leaving a sea of delocalised electrons. The sea of delocalised electrons allows metals to conduct electricity because the delocalised electrons are free to carry charge around the structure.</em>

<em>Pure metals are soft because there are layers of metal ions free to slide over each other as they are in a regular arrangement, pattern and size. </em>

<em>Alloys can be harder than pure metals because the different sizes of the atoms disturb the layers, stopping them from sliding over each other. Alloying a pure metal can let the metal become stronger and less reactive.</em>

What is the equilibrium associated with ka3 for h3po4?
Vlad [161]
Phosphoric acid has 3 pKa values (pKa1=2.1,  pKa2=6.9, pKa3= 12.4) and after 3 ionization it gives 3 types of ions at different pKa values: 

H₃PO₄(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇌ H₃O⁺(aq) + H₂PO₄⁻ (aq)         pKₐ₁ 
<span>

</span>H₂PO₄⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇌ H₃O⁺(aq) + HPO₄²⁻ (aq)       pKₐ₂


HPO₄²⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇌ H₃O⁺(aq) + PO₄³⁻ (aq)          pKₐ₃ 

The last equilibrium is associated with the highest pKa value (12.4) of phosphoric acid. There the last OH group will lose its hydrogen and hydrogen phosphate ion (HPO₄²⁻) turns into phosphate ion (PO₄³⁻).

What will happen if you take a frog out of the food chain?
Setler [38]
<span>there are a number of animals that eat  frogs that will die off, then the animals that eat them will go hungry, and their populations will die off as well. This would just keep going up the food chain. Essentially, the loss of the frogs could have deep, reverberating effects that we may not grasp until it’s too late.</span>

After 7.9 grams of sodium are dropped into a bathtub full of water how many grams of hydrogen gas are released
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

<em>The grams of hydrogen gas that are released is 0.343 gram</em>

Explanation:

<em>Given that:</em>

<em>2 Na + 2h₂0 ⇒ 2Na0H +N₂</em>

<em>Molecules of Na = 7.9/2.3 = 0.343 mol Na</em>

<em>Now,</em>

<em>2 molecules  of Na produces one mole h₂</em>

<em>0.343 mol of Na produce  0.343/2 = 0.1717 mol h₂</em>

<em>h2 = molecules * mw (molecular weight)  =0.1717 * 2 =0.343 grams</em>

<em>Therefore the grams of hydrogen gas released is = 0.343 grams</em>

That precipitation connects the hydrosphere with the geosphere by promoting erosion and weathering, surface processes that slowly break down large rocks into smaller ones. ... Both the geosphere and hydrosphere provide the habitat for the biosphere, a global ecosystem that encompasses all the living things on Earth.

Sodium and magnesium ions have 10 electrons surrounding their nuclei which ion would you expect to have the larger radius why
Maksim231197 [3]
Sodium because according to the atomic size trend of the periodic table. Elements further to the left are bigger while elements tot he right are smaller. This is also do to their charges, Na has a +1 charge meaning it doesn’t pull the electrons as close as the Mg does with its +2 charge.
