Why metals are denser than non - metals ? ...?

Chemistry

Solnce55 [7]3 years ago
6 0
Because their molecules are more tightly packed.                       Massdensity = ----------                     Volume
So more densely packed molecules means more mass per unit volume.  Hence metals are denser than non-metals.

Jet001 [13]
Reduction <span>always results in a lowering of the oxidation number. The reaction of the system above is written as:

</span><span>Cu2+(aq) + Fe(s) --> Cu(s) + Fe2+(aq) 
</span>
From the reaction, we see that copper goes from the +2 to a neutral charge. Lowering of the oxidation number happens so this is the element that is being reduced.

What is the electron configuration for<br> 08<br> 16
Elis [28]

The electron configuration for Oxygen : [He] 2s²2p⁴

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Writing electron configurations starts from the lowest to the highest sub-shell energy level. There are 4 sub-shells in the shell of an atom, namely s, p, d, and f. The maximum number of electrons for each sub-shell is  

• s: 2 electrons  

• p: 6 electrons  

• d: 10 electrons and  

• f: 14 electrons  

Charging electrons in the sub-shell uses the following sequence:  

<em>1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 4s², 3d¹⁰, 4p⁶, 5s², 4d¹⁰, 5p⁶, 6s², etc.  </em>

The element is Oxgen, with symbol O, and :

the atomic number=8=number of electron

the atomic mass=16

The electron configuration based on the number of electrons(for Oxygen=8), so the configuration :

\tt _8^{16}O:1s^22s^22p^4 or we can write with noble gas [He] 2s²2p⁴
