Which of the following explains why metallic bonding only occurs between

Physics

Answer:

D. Metallic atoms have valence shells that are mostly empty, which

means these atoms are more likely to give up electrons and allow

them to move freely.

Explanation:

Metals usually contain very few electrons in their valence shells hence they easily give up these few valence electrons to yield metal cations.

In the metallic bond, metal cations are held together by electrostatic attraction between the metal ions and a sea of mobile electrons.

Since metals give up their electrons easily, it is very easy for them to participate in metallic bonding. They give up their electrons easily because their valence shells are mostly empty, metal valence shells usually contain only a few electrons.

What is true weightlessness ?​
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

weightlessness, condition experienced while in free-fall, in which the effect of gravity is canceled by the inertial (e.g., centrifugal) force resulting from orbital flight. ... Excluding spaceflight, true weightlessness can be experienced only briefly, as in an airplane following a ballistic (i.e., parabolic) path.

Nonmetals in the periodic table have a negative oxidation number. Which statement best explains why?
Tema [17]
They have a negative oxidation number because nonmetals gain electrons, thus making them negatively charged ions (anions). Metals become cations and have a positive charge because they lose electrons.
