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.

can a light object that was hit with a small force accelerate as rapidly as a heavier object hit with a big force? why or why no
Tcecarenko [31]

The acceleration is defined by force divided by the mass of the object. So, When the smaller object is hit by a small force, it can produce equal acceleration which is same as that of the bigger body hit with large force.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Force is defined as the product of the mass of the body its applied to and the acceleration of the body in the direction of the force. So acceleration is force divided by the mass of the body.

Let the mass of the smaller body be m and that of the larger body be M.

The smaller force applied on the smaller body be f and the larger force applied on the larger body be F.

So acceleration of the larger body = F/M.

Acceleration of the smaller body = f/m.

For the accelerations to be same,

F/M = f/m.

Or F/f = M/m.

So when the ratio of the force applied on two bodies is in ratio of their masses, the acceleration becomes equal.

2. How did Pasteur’s experiment with the flasks help disprove the idea that living things could just appear or come from nonlivi
kolezko [41]
Answer is: Louis Pasteur (1822-1895) disproved spontaneous generation. He boiled liquid with proteins and other nutrients in S-neck flasks and regular flask to kill all microorganism present. In regular flask liquid showed changes when exposed to air and in S-neck flack there was no change (microorganism can not getting in the flask because the S- neck). When he removed S-neck, liquid changed because microorganisms came in liquid.
Pasteur showed it was not the air itself but particles within the air that had microorganisms.
