5. What is metallic bonding?<br> 6. Why are metals shiny?
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

Metallic bonding is found in metals and their alloys. When the atoms give up their valence electrons, they form ions. These ions are held together by the electron cloud surrounding them. Metals are shiny because they have a lot of free (i.e. delocalized) electrons that form a cloud of highly mobile negatively charged electrons on and beneath the smooth metal surface in the ideal case. ... In the absence of any external EM field, the charges in the plasma are uniformly distributed within the metal.

Explanation:

In metallic bonding, the electrons are “surrendered” to a common pool and become shared by all the atoms in the solid metal.

How is the orbital configuration of neutral atoms related to the atoms chemical properties
timama [110]

Answer:

Explanation:

Chemical properties of atoms relies solely on the number of electrons they contain, more particularly, the valence or outermost electrons in the orbit round the nucleus of an atom.

A neutral atom is one that has not gained or lost electron or even shared electrons with any other atom.

On close examination of how electrons are distributed in the orbits of an atom, we can know if an atom will gain or lose electrons in a reaction. This is very important in determining the chemical properties of an atom.

What is the molarity of 50.84 g of Na2CO3 dissolved in 0.400 L solution?
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

1.20 M

Explanation:

Convert grams of Na₂CO₃ to moles.  (50.84 g)/(105.99 g/mol) = 0.4797 mol

Molarity is (moles of solute)/(liters of solvent) = (0.4797 mol)/(0.400 L) = 1.20 M
