Which factor distinguishes a metallic bond from an ionic?

The main factor is malleability. Because ionic bonds are so much stronger, they are brittle and will break easily. Metallic bonds are weaker, with a "sea" of electrons allowing atoms to move about freely, hence they are very malleable.

What is the predominant intermolecular force in the liquid state of each of these compounds: ammonia (NH3), methane (CH4), and n
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

The  predominant intermolecular force in the liquid state of each of these compounds:

ammonia (NH3)

methane (CH4)

and nitrogen trifluoride (NF3)

Explanation:

The types of intermolecular forces:

1.Hydrogen bonding: It is a weak electrostatic force of attraction that exists between the hydrogen atom and a highly electronegative atom like N,O,F.

2.Dipole-dipole interactions: They exist between the oppositely charged dipoles in a polar covalent molecule.

3. London dispersion forces exist between all the atoms and molecules.

NH3 ammonia consists of intermolecular H-bonding.

Methane has London dispersion forces.

Because both carbon and hydrogen has almost similar electronegativity values.

NF3 has dipole-dipole interactions due to the electronegativity variations between nitrogen and fluorine.
