Why don’t metals break when pounded into sheets or drawn into wires? The electrons in metals are shared so that the bond between

them is too strong to be broken by pounding. The electrons in metals allow the cations to slide past and thereby reduce the repulsive force between them. The electrons in metals are either given up or taken up while bonding, creating a bond too strong to be broken by pounding. They form molecules in which each atom is bonded to many other atoms, forming a sturdy structure which doesn’t break on pounding. They form molecules which have a very high boiling and melting point, which makes them resistant to breaking. NextReset

I believe the answer would be the Second choice,
"<span>The electrons in metals allow the cations to slide past and thereby reduce the repulsive force between them."
because there are no bonds being created nor destroyed so therefore it seems to be the only logical answer left.</span>

Based on its location on the period table what can most likely be predicted of phosphorus
Natalka [10]
Hi, I believe this question is asking what charge Phosphorus will have when it forms an ion. If that is the case, you will see that it based on the column it is in, neutral Phosphorus has 5 valence electrons. When it becomes an ion (has 8 valence electrons), it will GAIN three electrons. Meaning, we can predict that Phosphorus will have a 3- charge when it becomes an ion.

Blizzard [7]
At STP (standard temperature and pressure conditions), 1 mol of any gas occupies 22.4 L 
This rule is applied to O₂
22.4 L volume occupied by 1 mol
Therefore 83.4 L occupied by - 1/ 22.4 x 83.4 = 3.72 mol
stoichiometry of O₂ to H₂O is 1:2
then the number of moles of water produced - 3.72 mol x 2= 7.44 mol
mass of water produced - 7.44 mol x 18.01 g/mol = 134.1 g
correct answer is D
