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.

Answer:

Here's what I get  

Explanation:

Ethylamine has an N atom with a lone pair of electrons.

It can act as a Brønsted-Lowry base and accept a proton from water and become an ethylammonium ion.

The structure of the ion is shown below (there is a C atom at each of the four-way bond intersections).
