Gold has a heavy enough nucleus that its electrons must travel at speeds nearing the speed of light to prevent them from falling into the nucleus. This relativistic effect applies to those orbitals that have appreciable density at the nucleus, such as s and p orbitals. These relativistic electrons gain mass and as a consequence, their orbits contract. As these s and (to some degree) p orbits are contracted, the other electrons in d and f orbitals are better screened from the nucleus and their orbitals actually expand.
Since the 6s orbital with one electron is contracted, this electron is more tightly bound to the nucleus and less available for bonding with other atoms. The 4f and 5d orbitals expand, but can't be involved in bond formation since they are completely filled. This is why gold is relatively unreactive.
Hope it helps
Answer:
Lead
Explanation:
The subatomic particles within an atom can be used to know the atom or element given.
Of particular interest is the number of protons within the atom.
The periodic table is based on the atomic number of atoms. This atomic number is the number of protons within an atomic space.
So; If we know the number of protons within an atom, we can know the element.
The number of protons given is 82, the element is therefore lead.
Ionic bonding would be the answer because they transfer electrons. This gives them a charge. If it loses electrons, it becomes an cation, with a positive charge. While if they gain an electron, they get a negative charge, and become a anion. Transferring an electron is losing or gaining, therefore your answer would be that since electrons are permanently being transferred, the answer is IONIC BOND.
Covalent bonds is a wrong answer because they share electrons, which gives them no charge (neutral).
Also, metallic bonding is not the correct answer.
So our final answer: A- Ionic bond

A and F i think
Explanation:
Freezing point depression is a colligative property observed in solutions that results from the introduction of solute molecules to a solvent. The freezing points of solutions are all lower than that of the pure solvent and is directly proportional to the molality of the solute
