The valence electrons are the parts of an atom that make interactions and make chemical bonds.
Every atom is made of three different components, a positively charged proton, neutrally charged neutron and negatively charged electron. The protons and the neutrons make up the atom's core and the electrons orbit around that core.
The electrons that orbit around the atom's core in its outer-most orbit (the one that is the furthest from the atom's core) can interact with electrons of other atoms, forming different kinds of chemical bonds.
If there is an exchange of the electrons (one atom donates its electrons to another atom), that results in forming of ions, then those two atoms can be linked in an ionic bond.
If an electron is shared between two atoms, then that bond is called a covalent bond.

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST! Explain how a pure metal is held together. Include a definition of a metallic bond in your explanation. Pl

vazorg [7]

Explanation:

A chemical bond which is formed in between positively charged atoms when there is sharing of free electrons in a lattice of cations is known as a metallic bond.

In a pure metal, atoms are surrounded by free moving valence electrons which move from one part of metal to another.

Thus, we can conclude that pure metals are held together by metallic bonds due to attraction between mobile valence electrons and positively charged metal ions.

The air bags in cars are inflated when a collision triggers the explosive, highly exothermic decomposition of sodium azide (NaN3

Oksanka [162]

Answer : The mass of $NaN_3$ required is, 166.4 grams.

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the moles of nitrogen gas.

Using ideal gas equation:

$PV=nRT$

where,

P = Pressure of $N_2$ gas = 1.00 atm

V = Volume of $N_2$ gas = 113 L

n = number of moles $N_2$ = ?

R = Gas constant = $0.0821L.atm/mol.K$

T = Temperature of $N_2$ gas = $85^oC=273+85=358K$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$1.00atm\times 113L=n\times (0.0821L.atm/mol.K)\times 358K$

$n=3.84mol$

Now we have to calculate the moles of sodium azide.

The balanced chemical reaction is,

$2NaN_3(s)\rightarrow 2Na(s)+3N_2(g)$

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 3 mole of $N_2$ produced from 2 mole of $NaN_3$

So, 3.84 moles of $N_2$ produced from $\frac{2}{3}\times 3.84=2.56$ moles of $NaN_3$

Now we have to calculate the mass of $NaN_3$

$\text{ Mass of }NaN_3=\text{ Moles of }NaN_3\times \text{ Molar mass of }NaN_3$

Molar mass of $NaN_3$ = 65 g/mole

$\text{ Mass of }NaN_3=(2.56moles)\times (65g/mole)=166.4g$

Therefore, the mass of $NaN_3$ required is, 166.4 grams.

What are some uses of metals?

VashaNatasha [74]

They are used to make plane bodies.
Some are used for electrical wires eg copper because they are good conductors of electricity.
Used in building materials.
used to make jewelry eg gold and silver<span />
