Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
It is known that metals are the species which readily lose an electron and tend to attain a positive charge.
For example, atomic number of sodium is 11 and its is an alkali metal. It electronic distribution is 2, 8, 1.
And, in order to attain stability it readily loses an electron and thus it become 
ion.
Also, it is known that species which tend to transfer or donate their valence electrons to other atoms tend to form ionic bond and the compound formed is known as ionic compound.
Therefore, we can conclude that the statement metal atoms held together by ionic bonds best describes a metal solid.
Answer:
pH = 12.52
Explanation:
Given that,
The [H+] concentration is 
.
We need to find its pH.
We know that, the definition of pH is as follows :
![pH=-log[H^+]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%3D-log%5BH%5E%2B%5D)
Put all the values,
![pH=-log[3\times 10^{-13}]\\\\pH=12.52](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%3D-log%5B3%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-13%7D%5D%5C%5C%5C%5CpH%3D12.52)
So, the pH is 12.52.
The answer is
C. A single replacement reaction (acid reactions)
An example would be the reaction between simple metal Potassium (K) and Water (H2O), resulting in a much solid compound called Potassium Hydroxide (KOH) and hydrogen gas is set free.
K+H2O --> KOH
1. The answer is option E, that is None of the above is correct.
As a polymer becomes more crystalline,
its melting point doesn't decreases, its density doesn't decreases, its stiffness doesn't decreases and its yield stress doesn't decreases.
2. The answer is option B, that is the molecules are arranged in sheets, with their long axes parallel and their ends aligned as well.
In the smectic A liquid-crystalline phase, molecules are arranged in sheets, with their long axes parallel and their ends aligned as well.
3. For a substitutional alloy to form, the two metals combined must have similar atomic radii and chemical bonding properties.
The maximum number of electrons:
- s sublevel: 2 electrons,
- p sublevel: 6 electrons,
- d sublevel: 10 electrons,
- f sublevel : 14 electrons.
