Answer:

C. Metallic bonds

Explanation:

The electron sea model is a model of metallic bonding in which cations are considered to be fixed points within a mobile 'sea' of electrons.

The electron sea model pictures the electrons on the surface of a metal being free to move from one atom to another. ... This means that in metallic bonding for the metal atom to become more stable it must release its electron density without the electrons being transferred to another atom.

Answer:

The correct answer is C.) metallic bonds

Explanation:

Metallic bonds are formed between metal compounds and are very strong. These links are explained by the "sea model of electrons", where valence electrons are ceded by each metal atom, becoming positive ions forming a three-dimensional crystalline network. These electrons move forming a network ("sea") that allows the union of the positive ions formed.

Would you expect the wavelength of maximum absorbance for [Cu(NH3)4]2+ to be greater than or less than the wavelength of maximum
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

Less

Explanation:

Since [Cu(NH3)4]2+ and [Cu(H2O)6]2+ are Octahedral Complexes the transitions between d-levels explain the majority of the absorbances seen in those chemical compounds. The difference in energy between d-levels is known as ΔOh (ligand-field splitting parameter) and it depends on several factors:

  • The nature of the ligand: A spectrochemical series is a list of ligands ordered on ligand strength. With a higher strength the ΔOh will be higher and thus it requires a higher energy light to make the transition.
  • The oxidation state of the metal: Higher oxidation states will strength the ΔOh because of the higher electrostatic attraction between the metal and the ligand

A partial spectrochemical series listing of ligands from small Δ to large Δ:

I− < Br− < S2− < Cl− < N3− < F−< NCO− < OH− < C2O42− < H2O < CH3CN < NH3 < NO2− < PPh3 < CN− < CO

Then NH3 makes the ΔOh higher and it requires a higher energy light to make the transition, which means a shorter wavelength.
