Explain how a pure metal is held together

2 answers:

8 0

When you melt the metal, the impurities is denser then the actual metal itself. Sometimes it could be less dense, meaning it will float, and people scoop it off the top. Other times, filtering and draining, or just pouring and scooping the bottom off of it will get the impurities out.

Back to the question. Metal bonds, when you melt it, because the impurities get removed, meaning it is pure, and the molecules are denser and have more volume, so they like to stick with eachother. Hope this helps! :)

Metallic bonds consist of the attraction of the free-floating valence electrons (negative) for the (positive) metal ions. These bonds are the force of attraction that hold metal together.A piece of pure metal, such as copper or iron, consists of metal atoms surrounded by mobile valence electrons that are free to drift from one part of the metal to another. Metallic bonds result from the attraction between the free-floating valence electrons and the positively charged metal ions.

What attractive forces must be overcome when CsI is dissolvedin liquid HF?

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

The attractive forces must be overcome are :

Ion- ion interaction

Dipole - Dipole

Hydrogen Bonding

Explanation:

For the compound to dissolve the attractive forces existing between atoms of the compound must be reduced

CsI is ionic compound and its molecules are held together by ionic(electrostatic) force . These force must be weakened for its dissolution

Forces in HF :

1 .Hydrogen Bonding : In HF strong intermolecular Hydrogen Bonding exist between the electronegative F and Hydrogen

2. Dipole - dipole : HF is polar . So it is a permanent dipole and has dipole diople interaction

which nonmetals could form an ionic compound with the formula MgX^2 ( where X represents the nonmetal)? (possible, not possible)

djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

The answer to your question is:

Explanation:

Ionic compound is formed when a metal and a nonmetal are attached.

If we have MgX₂, that means that the nonmetal must have a valence of -1.

From the list the nonmetals with a valence of -1 are:

Bromine(Br) and fluorine(F).

Answer:

1g Hydrogen

Explanation:

<h3>Getting to the equation:</h3>

Calcium in water reacts vigorously to give a cloudy white Precipitate (compound) called Calcium hydroxide alongwith the evolution of Hydrogen gas.

$\boxed{ \mathsf{Ca + H_2O \rightarrow Ca(OH)_2 + H_2}}$

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

<h3>Balancing the equation: </h3>

This reaction is not in it's balanced form! The number of atoms of Hydrogen on the left is 2 while that on the right is 4,I.e.,they're not equal.

Adding a 2 in front of H2O solves the problem by making the number of atoms of each element on both the sides equal.

$\mathsf{Ca +2 H_2O \rightarrow Ca(OH)_2 + H_2}$

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

<h3>Observations:</h3>

Looking into the equation more carefully, we see:

1 atom of Calcium reacts with 2 molecules of water to give 1 molecule of Calcium Hydroxide alongwith 1 molecule of Hydrogen gas.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

<h3>Gram atomic and molecular masses </h3>

Mass of one atom of Calcium = it's gram atomic mass

= 40 g

Mass of one "molecule" of Hydrogen

= it's Gram molecular mass

= gram mass of one atom × number of atoms in one molecule

= 1 × 2

= 2 g

So,

according to our observation:

One atoms of Calcium gives one molecule of Hydrogen (during the particular reaction)

=> 40g of Calcium gives = 2g of Hydrogen

•°• 1 g of Calcium gives = $\frac{2}{40}$

= $\frac{1}{20}$ g Hydrogen

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

<h3>Answer:</h3>

We're provided with 20g of Calcium,

=> 20g of Calcium gives = 20 × $\frac{1}{20}$ g H2

= 1 g H2

The density of gold is 19.3 g/cm³. Which of the following shows the mass of a gold bar that is 4.50 cm × 8.00 cm × 20.00 cm?

MakcuM [25]

Answer:

13896g

Explanation:

volume = 4.50×8.00×20.00 = 720 cm³

mass = density × volume

mass= 19.3 × 720 = 13896g
