In metallic bonding, the valence electrons are free to move throughout the metal structure. Metallic bonding is the electrostatic attraction between the metal atoms or ions and the delocalized electrons. This is why atoms or layers are allowed to slide past each other, resulting in the characteristic properties of malleability and ductility.

If a strong base, like NaOH, is added to a strong acid, like HCl, the pH of the resultant solution will _________. A.) Go up B.)

MakcuM [25]

Answer:

B.) Go down

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, a strong base like NaOH has a high pH based on the scale wherein 7 is neutral, above 7 is basic and below 7 is acid. In such a way, by adding an acid, having a low pH, once it is added, the pH will go down until the equivalence point, which for strong base and strong acid should be 7.

Best regards.
