Why do metals bend?

It is the electrons moving between the metal atoms but its more to do with how metals are structured. Basically you can think of it as layers of atoms with free electrons moving around. Metals can be molded because these layers can slide around each other, so the entire metal can be made into a different shape.

This is why metals bend.

How do the differences in the polyatomic ions po3 3- and po4 3- help you determine whether each ends in -ite or -ate?

Tcecarenko [31]

There is a rule in naming polyatomic anions containing oxygen. Those names ending in –ate are given to the most common oxyanion of an element. While those names ending in –ite are for those that contains fewer O atom for the same charge. Since P $PO_{3} ^{3-}$ has fewer O atoms, its name ends in –ite. Thus, P $PO_{3} ^{3-}$ is phosphite while P $PO_{4} ^{3-}$ is phosphate.
