Metallic bonding involves the sharing of valence electrons among a number of metal ions. The valence electrons stay delocalized and are not held tightly by any one metal cation. The nature of the metallic bonding is such that it attributes all metallic properties such as ductility, malleability and more. In metallic bonding there is electrostatic attraction between the delocalized electrons and the metallic cation.

Metallic bonds are bonds between 2 metals. Their electrons flow around freely unlike covalent or ionic bonds.

What determines an object’s ability to float?

Nezavi [6.7K]

Simply put, density is how tightly “stuff” is packed into a defined space.

For example, a suitcase jam-packed with clothes and souvenirs has a high density, while the same suitcase containing two pairs of underwear has low density. Size-wise, both suitcases look the same, but their density depends on the relationship between their mass and volume.
Mass is the amount of matter in an object.
Volume is the amount of space that an object takes up in three dimensions.

Density is calculated using the following equation: Density = mass/volume or D = m/v.

If something is heavy for its size, it has a high density. If an object is light for its size it has a low density.

The relative densities of an object and the liquid it is placed in determine whether that object will sink or float.

What are the chemical properties of beryllium phosphide??

o-na [289]

Answer:

Forms ionic bonds, insoluble, doesn't participate in single or double displacement reactions, non-reactive, high heat of combustion

Explanation:

Beryllium is a metal, since it belongs to group 2A, the alkaline earth metals. It has a total of 2 valence electrons.

Phosphorus, on the other hand, belongs to group 5A and has a total of 5 valence electrons.

We have a compound which has a metal in it, therefore, it's an ionic compound. Beryllium, our metal, loses its 2 electrons to gain an octet and phosphorus, our nonmetal, should gain 3 electrons to have an octet. The oxidation states are +2 and -3 respectively. This means we need 3 beryllium cations and 2 phosphide anions in our formula $Be_3P_2$ .

Beryllium phosphide would be expected to be insoluble, as only beryllium chloride, fluoride, nitrate, phosphate and sulfate are soluble substances, while the remaining ones are expected to be insoluble.

Due to its insolubility, beryllium phosphide would not participate in any ionic reactions, such as single displacement or double displacement.

Since it's insoluble, we expect this compound to be chemically stable and not reactive. This implies that if we wanted to burn it, the heat of combustion would be very high, as a lot of energy would be needed to be supplied in an endothermic reaction in order to burn it.
