Ability to conduct electricity

Chemistry
1 answer:
Alex17521 [72]4 years ago
8 0

Metals have the ability to conduct electricity.

Metals are lustrous, malleable, ductile and are good conductor of heat and electricity.

They conduct electricity because the electrons in metal are delocalized electrons and are free moving electrons so when they gain energy (heat) they vibrate more quickly and can move around, this means that they can pass on the energy more quickly.

Korvikt [17]
Moving the electron away from the nucleus requires energy, so the electrons in the outer shell will have more energy than ones in the inner shell. Electrons always have a charge of -1, so the charge in the inner and outer shell will be the same. Therefore the answer is 3

Answer the following questions based on the above graph(Electron affinity vs Atomic no.)
NARA [144]

i) Be has a fully filled 2s level.

ii) This is because chlorine is larger than fluorine.

iii) Fluorine needs only one electron to attain the octet configuration.

Electron affinity is the ability of an electron to accept  gaseous electrons to yield gaseous ions with a negative charge.  

Electron affinity depends on the size of an atom. Larger atoms have a higher electron affinity because they are better able to accept electrons.

The drop between Li and Be is because the 2s orbital in Be is already fully filled while Li has incompletely filled 2s level. electrons do not easily go into the higher energy 2p level.

The higher peak of chlorine is because chlorine is larger than fluorine hence the electron affinity of fluorine is less than that of chlorine. The smaller the ion the lesser the electron affinity.

Fluorine has the highest electron affinity in period 2 because it needs only one electron to attain the octet structure.
