Answer:

The ability to conduct electricity in the solid state is a characteristic of metallic bonding. This characteristic is best explained by the presence of cations

Explanation:

First of all we should know what are the valence electrons. These are the ones that are  involved in the formation of chemical bonds  (for representative elements, blocks s and p)

A cation is an atom which has lost an electron (+ charge).

The metalic atoms lose all the valence electrons, as these atoms remain charged, that is why they are capable of conducting electricity.

For example:

K (s) →  K⁺  +  1e⁻

In the opposite side, the anions are formed when the non metallic elements win electrons to complete the octet rule.

If an atom has 35 protons in nucleus how many neutrons will it have orbiting the nueclues
Dvinal [7]

Answer

Because the two particles have an equal charge, the charges will cancel out and give the atom an overall charge of 0. So, if at atom has 35 protons in the nucleus, we could expect it to have 35 electrons orbiting that nucleus.

Bromine has two isotopes, Br79 and Br81. The isotopes occur in a 50:50 (1:1) ratio. Given that the mass spectrum of bromine cont
AlekseyPX

Answer:

There will be 3 peaks.

Relative height of the atomic peaks would be; 158, 160 and 162

Explanation:

We are told that Bromine has two isotopes namely 79Br and 81Br in a 1 : 1 ratio (50 : 50).

This means that a compound which contains 1 bromine atom will have two peaks in the molecular ion region but it depends on which bromine isotope is contained in the molecular ion.

Thus;

Relative height of atomic peaks is given by;

m/z = 79Br¯ 79Br+ = 158

79Br¯ 81Br+ = 160

81Br¯ 81Br+ = 162
