Metals allow electric charge to move freely through them. Metals have a sea of delocalized electrons that are able to move freely throughout the metal structure.

Answer is: because of delocalized electrons in metallic bond.

Substances with metallic bond conduct an electric current in liquid and solid state, because they have mobile electrons.

Most metals have strong metallic bond, because strong electrostatic attractive force between valence electrons (metals usually have low ionization energy and lose electrons easy) and positively charged metal ions.

1. Metallic bond is a type of chemical bond.  

2. Metallic bond is formed between electrons and positively charged metal ions.  

3. Metallic radius is defined as one-half of the distance between the two adjacent metal ions.  

4. Metallic bond increace electrical and thermal conductivity.  

5. Metals conduct heat, because when free moving electrons gain energy (heat) they vibrate more quickly and can move around.

Do elements in the same group have same principle number?
Leviafan [203]

The s-, p-, and d-block elements of the periodic table are arranged into 18 numbered columns, or groups. The elements in each group have the same number of valence electrons. As a result, elements in the same group often display similar properties and reactivity.

Why should the water in the calorimeter be stirred throughout the reaction?
Readme [11.4K]
I think this is done to allow even distribution of temperature in all the regions of the calorimeter. That is to make sure that there are no hot or cold spots and also ensure that the measured temperature is the actual average temperature when the readings are taken by a thermometer.

Complete the sentences to identify the trend in first ionization energies as one proceeds down the group 7A elements and explain
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

a)decrease

b)increase

c)smaller

d)smaller

Explanation:

Ionization energy decreases down the group due to increase in the atomic radius. The distance between the outermost electron and the nucleus increases hence the nuclear attraction for the outermost electrons become smaller and the ionization energy also become smaller as electrons are now easily removed from the outermost shell.

Hence the group of answer choices provided above.
