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.

What mass of hydrogen chloride is formed when 1 mole of hydrogen reacts with 1 mole of chlorine?
Vadim26 [7]
The balanced reaction that describes the reaction between hydrogen and chlorine to produce hydrogen chloride is expressed H2 + Cl2 = 2HCl. Hence for every mole hydrogen chloride produced, there is 1 mole of hydrogen and chlorine needed. When 1 mole each of the reactants are used, there is 72.9 grams of HCl produced. We multiply 2 with the molar mass of HCl.

Which of the following are kept as a constant in Boyle's law (check all that
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

temperature

amount

Explanation:

Under the postulate of Boyle's law, both temperature and amount(number of moles) are kept constant.

  According to Boyle's law "the volume of a fixed mass of gas varies inversely as the pressure changes if the temperature is constant"

 Based on the premise of this law, both temperature and amount of substance is kept constant.

How many sulfur atoms are generated when 9.42 moles of H2S react according to the following equation: 2H2S+SO2→3S+2H2O
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

A) 8.51 × 10²⁴  

Explanation:

1. Gather all the information

            2H₂S + SO₂ ⟶ 3S + 2H₂O

n/mol:   9.42

2. Calculate the moles of S atoms

The molar ratio is 3 mol S:2 mol H₂S

\text{Moles of S} = \text{9.42 mol H$_{2}$S} \times \dfrac{\text{3 mol S }}{\text{2 mol H$_{2}$S }} = \text{14.13 mol S}

3. Calculate the atoms of S

\text{Atoms of S } = \text{14.13 mol S} \times \dfrac{6.022 \times 10^{23}\text{ S atoms}}{\text{1 mol S}} = \mathbf{8.51 \times 10^{24}}\textbf{ S atoms}

One of the great upcoming sports in the Olympics is the sport of curling. Write a brief essay on the uses of momentum collisions
Usimov [2.4K]

The Olympic sport of curling is one that is practically designed to show Physics in motion. Curling is a sport in which two teams alternate sliding smoothed stone pucks down an ice rink court with the intent to seat their stone closest to the center of the target (called the house). Each team has eight stones, meaning that the team that goes second has the (could be) massive advantage of sending the last stone.  
The mass of the stone is important in that the more massive a stone (m) and the speed at which it travels (v) dictates it's momentum (momentum=mxv). As the curling stone slides down the ice (which is relatively frictionless unless acted upon by other players or objects) and having inertia, continues in it's straight course (again, unless acted upon by outside forces). If the stone hits another stone, it transfers some of its momentum in an elastic collision to that stone and the original stone is deflected in a calculable manner.   
Collisions are used in the game to either clear opponent's stones from the house or out of their defensive positions, or to make adjustments to one's stones present in the house, all based on the momentum of the moving stone, and its transference.
