Why are metals always monoatomic?

Chemistry
2 answers:
sergey [27]3 years ago

<span>It is a convention. The metallic elements have what is known as a metallic bond that consists of the atoms are united by a current or "sea" of electrons which are free to circulate in all the "piece" of metal.

In strict sense, there is not such thing as a molecule of sodium or iron, but all the material is bound by that sea of electrons that was mentioned. <span>Thus, for the purposes of chemical reactions the metal element is counted as an individual atom, i.e. monatomic.</span></span>

The type of bonding in most metals is metallic bond. the atoms are held together by powerful electro static force in a sea of electrons in that respect they  may be regarded as a giant molecule but in chemical reaction they are considered to be monatomic . there are some exceptions , mercury where you convalent bonding Hg2.

What is the net charge of the ionic compound calcium fluoride
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

  • <em>The net charge of the ionic compound calcium fluoride is </em><u><em>zero (0).</em></u>

<em>Explanation:</em>

<em>Ionic compounds,</em> such as covalent ones, have zero net charge; this is, they are neutral.

Substances with net positive charge are cations and substances with net negative charge are anions.

The charges in the <em>ionic compound calcium flouride</em> are distributed in this way:

  • Compound formula: CaF₂

  • Calcium charge: Ca²⁺: this is, each calcium ion has a 2 positive charge

  • Fluoride charge: F⁻: each fluoride ion has a 1 negative charge.

  • Then, the <em>net charge</em> is: 1 × (2+) + 2 × (1-) = +2 - 2 = 0.

So, a two positve charge, from one calcium ion, is equal to two negative charges, from two fluoride tions, yielding a <u>zero net charge</u>.
