Which reason best explains why metals are ductile instead of brittle?

Chemistry
1 answer:
MaRussiya [10]3 years ago
7 0

Answer: -

Metals are ductile instead of brittle because they have flexible bonds.

Explanation: -

Metals have a property called ductility.

It is the ability of a metal to be drawn into wires.

Metals due to greater bond flexibility are more ductile.

The most ductile metal known to man is Gold. Metallic wires find many applications in modern machinery particularly.

Usually ductility and malleability go together.

A fossil was analyzed and determined to have a carbon-14 level that is 70 % that of living organisms. The half-life of C-14 is 5
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer: 2948

Explanation:

Half life is the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.

t_{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{0.693}{k}

k=\frac{0.69}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}=\frac{0.693}{5730}=1.21\times 10^{-4}years^{-1}

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}

where,

k = rate constant  = 1.21\times 10^{-4}years^{-1}

t = age of sample  = ?

a = let initial amount of the reactant  = 100

a - x = amount left after decay process = \frac{70}{100}\times 100=70

t=\frac{2.303}{1.21\times 10^{-4}}\log\frac{100}{70}

t=2948years

Thus the fossil is 2948 years old.
