Why can pure metals conduct electricity?

Chemistry

Answer:

The structure and bonding of metals explains their properties:

They are electrical conductors because their delocalised electrons carry electrical charge through the metal.

They are good conductors of thermal energy because their delocalised electrons transfer energy.

They have high melting points and boiling points, because the metallic bonding in the giant structure of a metal is very strong - large amounts of energy are needed to overcome the metallic bonds in melting and boiling.

They are malleable, which means they can be bent and shaped easily. In pure metals, the atoms are arranged in neat layers, and when a force is applied to the metal (eg by being hit with a hammer), the layers of metal atoms can slide over each other, giving the metal a new shape.

If a neutral atom has 24 electrons and 26 neutrons how many protons does it have?​
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

24

Explanation:

The number of protons in the atom of the neutral element will also be 24.

Protons are the positively charged particles in an atom.

Electrons are the negatively charged particles

Neutrons do not carry any charges at all

Now, in a neutral atom, the charge is balanced and the number of protons and electrons are the same in the atom.

So, since we have been given that the atom has 24 electrons, the number of protons will be 24.

Why are prefixes not needed in naming ionic compounds?
kari74 [83]

Answer:

when naming ionic compounds — those are only used in naming covalent molecular compounds. Do NOT use prefixes to indicate how many of each element is present; this information is implied in the name of the compound. since iron can form more than one charge. Ionic Compounds Containing a Metal and a Polyatomic Ion.
