Lead is malleable, so it can be pounded into flat sheets without breaking. How does the bonding within lead help to explain this

property?
Metallic bonds involve valence electrons that are removed from one atom and given to another, so the pounding helps the electrons move.
Covalent bonds involve valence electrons that are shared between two metal atoms, so the bonds are strong enough to resist the pounding.
Metallic bonds involve many valence electrons shared by many atoms, so the bonds can move around as the metal is pounded.
Covalent bonds involve valence electrons that are removed from one atom and given to another, so the pounding helps the electrons move.

The answer is Metallic bonds involve many valence electrons shared by many atoms, so the bonds can move around as the metal is pounded. The metallic bond structure of lead forms a cubic crystal structure and the atoms can roll over one another without breaking the metallic bonds. This is especially because the p orbital electrons of lead can be delocalized and the electrons can be shared with other lead ions in the cubic structure of lead.

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

In metallic bonding, the valence electrons are involved in bonding with many atoms.

As a result, valence electrons dissociate within their atomic core and form a sea of electrons which helps in binding the positively charged ions.

Thus, we can conclude that the bonding within lead help to explain this property as metallic bonds involve many valence electrons shared by many atoms, so the bonds can move around as the metal is pounded.

Dan got into his car in the middle of summer. When he sat on the hot black leather seats, he burned his legs. His sister said th
LekaFEV [45]

The correct answer is D) Dan's sister was correct because Dan's legs touched the car seats. That is an indicator of heat transfer by conduction.

Conduction only happens when a heated object touches a non-heated (or not as heated) object. Radiation did cause the car to become hot, but conduction caused Dan to get burned.

Hope this helps!! :D
