Explanation:
A chemical bond which is formed in between positively charged atoms when there is sharing of free electrons in a lattice of cations is known as a metallic bond.
In a pure metal, atoms are surrounded by free moving valence electrons which move from one part of metal to another.
Thus, we can conclude that pure metals are held together by metallic bonds due to attraction between mobile valence electrons and positively charged metal ions.
A. 1 valence electron
b. 4 valence electrons
c. 2 valence electrons
d. 6 valence electrons
Answer:
The correct answer is b) 2
Explanation:
When is dissolved in water, silver acetate (AgCH₃COO) is dissociated into ions according to the following equilibrium:
AgCH₃COO ⇄ Ag⁺ + CH₃COO⁻
Where Ag⁺ is a silver cation and CH₃COO⁻ is the acetate anion (an organic anion). As we can see, from one single formula unit are obtained 2 ions (1 cation and 1 anion).
Therefore, the correct option is b) - 2
