Metallic bonds

Explanation:

The physical properties of metals such as malleability, ductility, electrical and thermal conductivity, luster e.t.c is controlled by metallic bonds.

  • Metallic bonds join atoms of metals and alloys together.
  • The formation of this bond type is favored by large atomic radius, low ionization energy and a large number of electrons in the valence shell.
  • Metallic bond is actually an attraction between the positive nuclei of all closely packed atoms in the lattice and the electron cloud jointly formed by all atoms losing their outermost shell electrons.

alexira [117]

Answer : At constant pressure work is done by the system on the surroundings.

Explanation :

Work done : Any quantity that flows across the boundary of a system during a change in its state and it completely convertible into the lifting of a weight in the surroundings.

Formula for work done is:

w=-p_{ext}dV

Sign convention :

  • When volume expand then system work that means work done by the system.

w = (-ve)

  • When volume compress then surrounding work that means work done on the system.

w = (+ve)

The given reaction is:

Hg(l)\rightarrow Hg(g)

This is a evaporation process in which phase changes from liquid state to gaseous state at constant temperature.

At constant pressure, work depends only on volume.

In evaporation process, the volume expand that means work is done by the system on the surroundings.

Sign convention is, w = (-ve)

Thus, at constant pressure work is done by the system on the surroundings.
