<span>All metals have similar properties BUT, there can be wide variations in melting point, boiling point, density, electrical conductivity and physical strength.<span>To explain the physical properties of metals like iron or sodium we need a more sophisticated picture than a simple particle model of atoms all lined up in close packed rows and layers, though this picture is correctly described as another example of a giant lattice held together by metallic bonding.</span><span>A giant metallic lattice – the <span>crystal lattice of metals consists of ions (NOT atoms) </span>surrounded by a 'sea of electrons' that form the giant lattice (2D diagram above right).</span><span>The outer electrons (–) from the original metal atoms are free to move around between the positive metal ions formed (+).</span><span>These 'free' or 'delocalised' electrons from the outer shell of the metal atoms are the 'electronic glue' holding the particles together.</span><span>There is a strong electrical force of attraction between these <span>free electrons </span>(mobile electrons or 'sea' of delocalised electrons)<span> (–)</span> and the 'immobile' positive metal ions (+) that form the giant lattice and this is the metallic bond.

Answer: Phosphorus 3143.58=1.4 1
Oxygen 1656.42=3.5 2.5
Explanation:
Answer:
cylinder A has a higher density then cylinder B or more accurately the liquid in cylinder A is denser then the liquid in the second tube.
Explanation:
"Denser" simply means more matter is contained in the same space for example say you fill a tank with helium and another tank with water. Although they are the same size one will weigh much more because their is more particles or "stuff" inside the same area this can be because of a few things one it can be because the atoms or elements that compose the substance are heavier containing more electrons and protons in their orbit. or the molecular structure is more compact like a chicken wire fence has more wire in it then a barbed wire wire fence covering the same area because of the grid of wire in the middle.
