What characteristics of a metallic bond explains some of the properties of metals

Chemistry
1 answer:
d1i1m1o1n [39]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

Metallic bonds involve attraction between electrons and positively charged metal ions. The metals are ionized and electrons form a sea of valence electrons. These loosely bound electrons surround the nuclei of the metals.

The presence of this sea of electrons explains the fact that metals conduct electricity and heat due to the free valence electrons.

Due to the nature of the bonding between metal atoms,metals are malleable and ductile.

Due to the strong electrostatic interaction between metal ions and electrons, the metallic bond is very strong and is very difficult to break thereby accounting for the greater strength of metals as the size of the metallic ion decreases.

kotykmax [81]

Answer:

Explanation:

Phenolphthalein is a protonated indicator and methyl orange is a basic indicator having hydroxyl ionisable part .

Phenolphthalein can be represented by the following formula

HPh  which ionizes in water as follows

       HPh        + H₂O      ⇄    H₃O⁺      +        Ph⁻

( colourless  )                    ( pink  )

In acidic solution it is in the form of protonated Hph form which is colourless

In basic medium , it ionises to give H₃O⁺ and unprotonated  Ph⁻ whose colour is pink .

What does a bomb calorimeter do?
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]
It is a constant-volume type calorimeter that measures the heat of a particular reaction or measures the calorific value of the fuels. Bomb calorimeters are built in such a way that they can withstand the large pressure produced within the calorimeter due to the reaction or burning of fuel.
