Why do minerals with metallic bonds conduct electricity so well?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Roman55 [17]3 years ago
8 0

Answer and Explanation:

Because metallic bonding involves delocalized electrons. It is described as a "<em>sea of electrons</em>", because the electrons are not confined around the nucleus of metal atoms, but they are delocalized: thay can be located in one nucleus and then in another neighbor atom. Thus, the electrons have more freedom to move from one part of the metal to another and electricity is well conducted.

What did J.J. Thomson discover about the atom that changed the atomic model previously used?
galina1969 [7]
J.J. Thomson hypothesized and discovered that the atom was not the smallest unit of matter but that instead there were much smaller units. He discovered "sub-atomic particles" which make up atoms. The sub-atomic particle that Thomson discovered was the electron. He discovered this through a process of experiments testing cathode rays.
