Due to the presence of mobile or moving electrons in an atom they are good conductor of heat and electricity. Thus, the heat conduction and current conduction properties of metals are explained by its mobile electrons.
The other mentioned properties of metal are strength which can be explained by type of bonding within the metals, malleability explains the tendency of metals to be flattened into thin sheets, ductility explains the tendency to be stretched into wires, luster means the surface of metal is shiny and opacity is measure of impermeability that is to what extent they can pass light through them, metals are opaque, can not pass light through them or they are not transparent . All these properties are not because of mobile electrons in metals.
Therefore, correct properties are heat conduction and current conduction.
A stable atom is an atom that has enough binding energy to hold the nucleus together permanently. An unstable atom does not have enough binding energy to hold the nucleus together permanently and is called a radioactive atom.
<span>We have a sample of a gas which is a compound of carbon and oxygen. Chemical analysis shows that it contains 2.4 g of carbon and 6.4 g of oxygen. What is its formula?</span>
