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.

Who proposed the "Law of Octaves" for organizing events?

djyliett [7]

Explanation:

February 7, 1863, was the day John Newlands published a paper outlining what would be known as “The Law of Octaves”. Newlands discovered if he ordered the known elements by increasing atomic weight, the chemical properties of the elements would be similar for every eighth group

Which balanced equation represents a redox reaction? a. AgNO3(aq) +NaCl(aq) →AgCl(s) +NaNO3(aq) b. H2CO3(aq) →H2O() + CO2(g) c.

Aleks [24]

Answer : The correct option is, (D) $Mg(s)+2HCl(aq)\rightarrow MgCl_2(s)+H_2(g)$

Explanation :

(A) $AgNO_3(aq)+NaCl(aq)\rightarrow AgCl(s)+NaNO_3(aq)$

This reaction is a double displacement reaction in which the cation and anion of two reactants are exchange their places to give two different products.

(B) $H_2CO_3(aq)\rightarrow H_2O(l)+CO_2(g)$

This reaction is a decomposition reaction in which the larger molecule decomposes to give two or more products.

(C) $NaOH(aq)+HCl(aq)\rightarrow NaCl(s)+H_2O(aq)$

This reaction is a neutralization reaction in which an acid and a base react to give a salt and water as a product.

(D) $Mg(s)+2HCl(aq)\rightarrow MgCl_2(s)+H_2(g)$

This reaction is a redox reaction in which the oxidation and reduction reaction occur simultaneously.

Oxidation reaction is the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. In this oxidation state increases.

Reduction reaction is the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. In this oxidation state decreases.

In this reaction, magnesium shows oxidation due to change in oxidation number from (0) to (+2) and hydrogen shows reduction due to change in oxidation number from (-1) to (0).

Hence, the correct option is, (D)
