Question

Copper atoms are used to produce pennies. The copper atoms in pennies share many electrons. Pennies contain

Answer 1

Answer:

Metallic bonds

Explanation:

Metallic bonds joins atoms of metals and atoms of alloys together. The copper used in making pennies is a metallic substance so it contains metallic bonds.

• The formation of this bond type is predicated on the large atomic radius, low ionization energy and large number of electrons in the valence shell.
• The bond is an attraction between the positive nuclei of all closely packed atoms in the lattice and the electron cloud.
• The electron cloud is jointly formed by all the atoms by losing their outermost shell electrons.

This way the bond in pennies are metallic in nature.
