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.

A gas with a volume of 4.0L at a pressure of 205 kPa is allowed to expand to a volume of 12000 mL. What is the pressure in atmos
Leni [432]

Answer: The pressure in atmospheres is 0.674 in the container if the temperature remains constant.

Explanation:

Boyle's Law: This law states that pressure is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature and number of moles.

P\propto \frac{1}{V}     (At constant temperature and number of moles)

P_1V_1=P_2V_2  

where,

P_1 = initial pressure of gas  = 205 kPa

P_2 = final pressure of gas = ?

V_1 = initial volume of gas  = 4.0 L

V_2 = final volume of gas = 12000 ml = 12 L    (1L=1000ml)  

205\times 4.0=P_2\times 12  

P_2=68.3kPa=0.674atm        (1kPa=0.0098atm)

Therefore, the pressure in atmospheres is 0.674 in the container if the temperature remains constant.

4th one<br> Mark the brainliest

Answer:

1. The electronic configuration of X is: 1s2 2s2 sp6 3s2

2. The configuration of the anion of Y (i.e Y^2-) is 1s2 2s2 2p6

3. The formula of the compound form by X and Y is given as: XY

Explanation:

For X to loss two electrons, it means X is a group 2 element. X can be any element in group 2. The electronic configuration of X is:

1s2 2s2 sp6 3s2

To get the electronic configuration of the anion of element Y, let us find the configuration of element Y. This is done as follows:

Y receives two electrons from X to complete its octet. Therefore Y is a group 6 element. The electronic configuration of Y is given below

1s2 2s2 2p4

The configuration of the anion of Y (i.e Y^2-) is 1s2 2s2 2p6

The formula of the compound form by X and Y is given below :

X^2+ + Y^2- —> XY

Their valency will cancel out thus forming XY
