The type of bond formed is known as a metallic bond

In order to identify the type of bond formed between atoms, you must know the requirements needed for each:

A covalent bond can only have non-metals. In this type of bonding, electrons are shared between atoms.

An ionic bond has both non-metals and metals. In this type of bonding, electrons are transferred. In other words, one atom gives electrons to another atom.

Finally, a metallic bond has only metals. In this type of bonding, electrons are delocalized. Essentially, it means that electrons just float around the metal atoms, and aren't designated to a specific atom. (This quality is the reason why metals are so conductive)

If you have any more questions, don't be afraid to ask!

Good luck :))

A sample of gas has an initial volume of 3.88 l at a pressure of 707 mmhg . part a if the volume of the gas is increased to 5.43

JulsSmile [24]

Using boyles law
p1v1=p2v2
v1=3.88
v2=5.43
p1=707
p2=?
707x3.88=p2x5.43
2743.16/5.43=p2
p2=505mmHg

For the reaction H2PO4- HAsO4 2-HPO4 2-+H2AsO4- <br> what species are a conjugate acid-base pair?

aleksklad [387]

Ionic equation:

$\text{H}_2\text{PO}_4^{-} + \text{HAsO}_4^{2-} \to \text{HPO}_4^{2-} + \text{H}_2\text{AsO}_4^{-}$

The acid and base in a conjugate pair differ by only one proton $\text{H}^{+}$ . The acid loses one proton to produce a conjugate base, whereas the base gains a proton to produce its conjugate acid.

$\text{H}_2\text{PO}_4^{-}$ loses one proton to produce $\text{HPO}_4^{2-}$ in this reaction.

$\text{H}_2\text{PO}_4^{-} \to \text{H}^{+} + \text{HPO}_4^{2-}$

Meanwhile, $\text{HAsO}_4^{2-}$ gains one proton to form $\text{H}_2\text{AsO}_4^{-}$ .

$\text{HAsO}_4^{2-} + \text{H}^{+} \to \text{H}_2\text{AsO}_4^{-}$

Therefore

$\text{H}_2\text{PO}_4^{-}$ is the conjugate acid $\text{HPO}_4^{2-}$ , its conjugate base.
$\text{HAsO}_4^{2-}$ is the conjugate base of $\text{H}_2\text{AsO}_4^{-}$ , its conjugate acid.

To convert measurements in the metric system you can move the decimal point left or right why does this work?

Serhud [2]

Explanation:

Because when you move the decimal point once, it it equal to 10 and to convert in the metric system, you must multiply or divide by 10. For example, when converting 4 centimeters to millimeters, you can multiply by 10 to get 40 millimeters or you can move the decimal point to the right and add another 0 to get 40.

List a possible set of four quantum numbers (n,l,ml,ms) in order, for the highest energy electron in gallium?

Elena-2011 [213]

Gallum: Z = 31

electron configuration: [Ar] 4s^2 3d10 4s2 4p1

Highest energy electron: 4p1

Quantum numbers:

n = 4, because it is the shell number
l = 1, it corresponds to type p orbital
ml = may be -1, or 0, or +1, depending on space orientation, they correspond to px, py, pz
ms = may be -1/2 or +1/2, this is the spin number.

Why is the air pressure greater on the mountain top

Elena L [17]

Altitude is height above sea level. The density of air decreases with height. There are two reasons, at higher altitudes there is less air pushing down from above,and gravity is weaker farther from earths center.
