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.

Why are units used that are to express the densities of gases different from those used to express the densities of solids or li
aksik [14]
If the units for gases were the same as the units for numbers would be too small to be convenient.

For example, the density of iron is 7.87 g/cm³.

Using the same units, the density of hydrogen is 0.000 0899 g/cm³.

It is much more convenient to express the density in numbers that are easier to visualize: 0.0899 g/L, and that is still a small number.

15.0 moles of gas are in a 8.00 L tank at 22.3 ∘C∘C . Calculate the difference in pressure between methane and an ideal gas unde
leva [86]

Answer:

\Delta P=4.10atm

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the ideal gas equation is used under the assumption of no interaction between molecules and perfectly sphere-shaped molecules but the van der Waals equation actually includes those effects, we can compute each pressure as shown below, considering the temperature in kelvins (22.3+273.15=295.45K):

P^{ideal}=\frac{nRT}{V}=\frac{15.0mol*0.08206\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}*295.45K}{8.00L}=45.5atm

Next, since the VdW equation requires the molar volume, we proceed as shown below:

v=\frac{8.00L}{15.0mol}=0.533\frac{L}{mol}

Now, we use its definition:

P^{VdW}=\frac{RT}{v-b} -\frac{a}{v^2}

Thus, by plugging in we obtain:

P^{VdW}=\frac{0.08206\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}*295.45K}{0.533mol/L-0.0430L/mol} -\frac{2.300L^2*atm/mol^2}{(0.533L/mol)^2}\\\\P^{VdW}=49.44atm-8.09atm\\\\P^{VdW}=41.4atm

Thus, the pressure difference is:

\Delta P=45.5atm-41.4atm\\\\\Delta P=4.10atm

Best regards!

Is a solution with a pH less than 7 acidic, alkaline or neutral?
lubasha [3.4K]

pH ranges from 0 to 14, with 7 being neutral. pHs less than 7 are acidic while pHs greater than 7 are alkaline (basic).
