Answer:

Explanation:

Metals are held together by metallic bonds. Metallic bonds consist of the attraction of the free-floating valence electrons for the positively charged metal ions. These bonds are the forces of attraction that hold metals together.

Metals are made up of closely packed cations rather than neutral atoms. The valence electrons of metal atoms can be modeled as a sea of electrons. The valence electrons are mobile and can drift freely from one part of the metal to another. Metallic bonds consist of the attraction of the free-floating valence electrons for the positively charged metal ions. These bonds are the forces of attraction that hold metals together.

Explanation:

A chemical bond which is formed in between positively charged atoms when there is sharing of free electrons in a lattice of cations is known as a metallic bond.

In a pure metal, atoms are surrounded by free moving valence electrons which move from one part of metal to another.

Thus, we can conclude that pure metals are held together by metallic bonds due to attraction between mobile valence electrons and positively charged metal ions.

How many moles of water as a gas can be formed 2.45 L
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

0.11mole

Explanation:

Let us assume that the condition is at standard temperature and pressure(STP);

 Given parameters:

        Volume of water  = 2.45L

   Unknown:

       Number of moles found in this volume of water  = ?

Solution;

 At STP;

                 Number of moles  = \frac{volume of gas}{22.4}

 Input the parameters and solve;

                  Number of moles of water  = \frac{2.45}{22.4}   = 0.11mole

The number of moles of water found is  0.11mole
