Explain why are metals good conductors and why covalent bonds are not

Chemistry
1 answer:
abruzzese [7]3 years ago
3 0
While ionic bonds join metals to nonmetals, and covalent bonds join nonmetals to nonmetals, metallic bonds are responsible for the bonding between metal atoms. ... Metals are good conductors of electricity because the electrons in the electron sea are free to flow and carry electric current.

Find the atomic numbers of the as yet undiscovered next two members of the series. radon
denpristay [2]
This answer is based on the electron configuration.

And you can use Aufbau's rule to predict the atomic number of the next elements.

Radon, Rn is the element number 86.

Following Aufbau's rules, the electron configuration of Rn is: [Xe] 6s2 4f14 5d10 6p6. This means that you are suming 2 + 14 + 10 + 6 = 32 electrons with respect to the element Xe.

You can verity that the atomic number of Xe is 54, so when you add 32 you get 54 + 32 = 86, which is the atomic number of Rn.

Again, as per Aufbau's rules, the next element of the same group or period is when the 6 electrons of the 7p orbital are filled. For that, they have to pass 32 elements whose orbitals are:

7s2 5f14 6d10 7p6: count the electrons added: 2 + 14 + 10 + 6 = 32, and that is why the next element wil have atomic number 86 + 32 = 118.

Now, when you go for a new series, you find a new type of orbital, the g orbital, for which the model predict there are 18 electrons to fill.

So the next element of the group will have ; 2 + 18 + 14 + 10 + 6 = 50 electrons, which means that the atomic number of this, not yet discovered element, has atomic number 118 + 50 = 168.

By the way the element with atomic number 118 was already discovdered at its symbol is Og. You can search that information in internet.

Answers: 118 and 168

Troyanec [42]
Charles law gives the relationship between temperature and volume of gases. It  states that the volume of gas is directly proportional to temperature at constant pressure. 
V / T = k 
where V - volume and T - temperature in Kelvin and k - constant 
\frac{V1}{T1} =  \frac{V2}{T2}
where parameters for the first instance are on the left side and parameters for the second instance are on the right side of the equation 
T1 - 20 °C + 273 = 293 K
substituting these values in the equation 
\frac{40.0 mL}{293 K}  =  \frac{80.0 mL}{T}
T = 586 K
temperature in celsius = 586 K - 273 = 313 °C
new temperature is 313 °C
