They are delocalized.

When you think of a bond, you probably think of the "ball and stick" model of bonding where there are two atoms connected by one or more bonds. The bonds between those two atoms connect only those two atoms. Because the bond just stays put, it's referred to as localized covalent bonding.

However, metals do different stuff. If you've got a metal, you've got a great big bunch of atoms all held together in a great big bunch of valence electrons. Rather than two valence electrons forming a single bond between two metal atoms, you have all of the valence electrons from every atom in the element moving around all over the place in delocalized bonds. If you imagine putting a bunch of pieces of Velcro into a pile of yarn, the electrons are represented by the disordered yarn and the metal atoms are represented by the Velcro.

OK.

professor190 [17]

Answer:

Mass of Mg(OH)₂ required for the reaction = 863.13 g

Explanation:

3Mg(OH)₂ + 2H₃PO₄ -------> Mg₃(PO₄)₂ + 6H₂O

(5.943 x 10²⁴) molecules of H₃PO₄ is available fore reaction. Mass of Mg(OH)₂ required for reaction.

According to Avogadro's theory, 1 mole of all substances contain (6.022 × 10²³) molecules.

This can allow us find the number of moles that (5.943 x 10²⁴) molecules of H₃PO₄ represents.

1 mole = (6.022 × 10²³) molecules.

x mole = (5.943 x 10²⁴) molecules

x = (5.943 x 10²⁴) ÷ (6.022 × 10²³)

x = 9.87 moles

From the stoichiometric balance of the reaction,

2 moles of H₃PO₄ reacts with 3 moles of Mg(OH)₂

9.87 moles of H₃PO₄ will react with y moles of Mg(OH)₂

y = (3×9.87)/2 = 14.80 moles

So, 14.8 moles of Mg(OH)₂ is required for this reaction. We them convert this to mass

Mass = (number of moles) × Molar mass

Molar mass of Mg(OH)₂ = 58.3197 g/mol

Mass of Mg(OH)₂ required for the reaction

= 14.8 × 58.3197 = 863.13 g

Hope this Helps!!!

padilas [110]

Answer:

The majority of the weight in an atom is found in the nucleus.

Explanation:

The protons and neutrons that make up the nucleus of the atom may take up a tiny amount of space in comparison to the rest of the atom, but they are far more dense than the electrons that orbit the nucleus.

Which of the following transitions represent the emission of a photon with the largest energy?

s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

n=6 to n=3 (B)

Explanation:

Energy of an electron present in the $n^{th}$ orbit is directly proportional to $n^{2}$ .Hence a transistion from one orbit to another orbit emits an energy proportional to the difference of their squares of the orbits. that is if an electron travels from orbit n1 to orbit n2 then it emits an energy corresponding to $n_{1} ^{2} -n_{2} ^{2}$ .So in the above question the highest energy emission occurs when an electron moves from n=6 to n=3.(Highest difference of energy levels).
