The electron sea model for metals suggest that the valence electrons drift freely around the metal cations.

Answer: B

Explanation

The sea model of electron is used for describing the mechanism of metallic bonding.

The metallic bonding generally occurs between 2 or more metals leading to the formation of alloys.

According to electron sea model, the electrons which contributes to the metallic bond are mostly the valence electrons of the atoms, these valence electrons get de-localized and can move freely around the nuclei of other atoms.

Overall, it seems like nuclei of positive charge is surrounded by sea of negative electrons.

Answer-   The correct option among all the options given is option C .

Explanation- Electron sea model is named because there are more than half of the periodic table covered by metals and the way they react among themselves is completely different from the way they react with other members of the group.

Valence electrons  that are present in metals in such cases such electrons are free to roam about and drift about cations.

1) boiling points increase as molecular weight increase and vice versa. This is due to the increase in van der waals forces between molecules.
2) branching decreases the melting and boiling i.e increase in branching decrease boiling point and melting point. This is due to the fact that there are less point of contact between neighbouring molecules, so molecules are farther apart from each other, which means weaker van der waals(London forces) less energy is required to overcome these force of attraction.
3) In homolytic fission each of the fragment retain one of the bonded electron and radicals are made if the molecule is neutral. In heterolytic fission one fragment gets both bonding electron.
The energy for the heterolytic fission is higher because energy is not only needed to break the covalent bond but also to overcome the force of attraction between oppositely charged ions formed.

At equilibrium, no chemical reactions take place. true or false
arsen [322]
False. At equilibrium, the rate of forward reaction is equal to the rate of backward reaction. The net concentration of both products and reactants won't change, but the reactions still take place.
