Physical Properties of Metals: Malleability and Ductility. The delocalised<span> electrons in the 'sea' of electrons in the metallic bond, enable the metal atoms to roll over each other when a stress is applied</span>

The metallic bond is ductile and malleable because they are not directly bonded with each other.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Metallic bonds rise from electrostatic metallic forces between electrons and positively charged ions. In a metallic bond, electrons are free to move throughout the metallic structure.

Metals are malleable as they can be beaten into sheets and ductile because they can be pulled into wires. This happens because atoms share electrons and can move freely throughout the structure.

Example: Gold is more ductile and malleable when compare to silver and platinum.

What are isotopes.....

serg [7]

The atoms of a chemical element can exist in different types. These are called isotopes. They have the same number of protons (and electrons), but different numbers of neutrons. Different isotopes of the same element have different masses. Mass is the word for how much substance (or matter) something has.

Isotopes are atom families that have the same number of protons, but different numbers of neutrons

Each of two or more forms of the same element that contain equal numbers of protons but different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei, and hence differ in relative atomic mass but not in chemical properties; in particular, a radioactive form of an element.

If a volume of gas 177.6mL was collected at a temperature of 25.8C and the pressure is 799.7 torr, what is the original concentr

Step2247 [10]

Answer:

The original concentration of the acid was 0.605 M

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Volume of gas = 177.6 mL = 0.1176 L

Temperature = 25.8 °C = 298.95 K

Pressure = 799.7 torr = 799.7/ 760 = 1.0522368 atm

Volume of acid needed to react = 12.6 mL = 0.0126 L

Step 2: Calculate moles

p*V = n*R*T

n = (p*V)/(R*T)

⇒with n = the number of moles = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒with p = the pressure of the gas = 799.7 torr = 1.0522368 atm

⇒with V = the volume of the gas = 177.6 mL = 0.1776 L

⇒with R = the gas constant = 0.08206 L*atm/mol*K

⇒with T = the temperature = 25.8 °C = 298.95 K

n = 0.007618 moles

Step 3: Calculate original concentration

We need 0.007618 moles of acid to react with the same amount of moles gas

Concentration acid = moles / volume

Concentration acid = 0.007618 moles / 0.0126 L

Concentration acid = 0.605 M

The original concentration of the acid was 0.605 M

Determine the possible traits of the calves if:

White raven [17]

Answer:

1. All red calves i.e. RR

2. All roan calves i.e RW

3. 2 red calves (RR) and two roan calves (RW)

Explanation:

According to this question, a gene coding for fur colour in cattle is involved. Red alleles (R) and white alleles (W) are co-dominant to produce a roan cattle (RW). The possible traits of the following crosses are (see attached punnet square):

1) A red bull (RR) is mated to a red (RR) cow: All red calves i.e. RR

2) A red (RR) bullis mated with white (WW) cow: All roan calves i.e RW

3) A roan bull (RW) is mated with red (RR) cow: 2 red calves (RR) and two roan calves (RW).

What element is being oxidized in the following redox reaction?

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

The element that has been oxidized is the N

Explanation:

Zn²⁺(aq) + NH₄⁺(aq) → Zn(s) + NO₃⁻(aq)

See all the oxidation states:

Zn²⁺ → acts with +2

In ammonia, H acts with +1 and N with -3

Zn(s), acts with 0. In all the elements in ground state, the oxidation state is 0.

Zn changed from 2+ to 0. The oxidation number, has decreased.

This element has been reduced.

NO₃⁻ (aq) it's a ion, from nitric acid.

N acts with +5

O acts with -2

The global charge is -1

The N, has increased the oxidation state, so this element is the one oxidized.
