A:UNDERSTANDING CONCEPTS PART A 13) Which of the following is an example of periodicity? A) eating breakfast
Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
If we look at the electron configuration closely, we will discover that the element must have had a ground state electron configuration of 2,4.
This is because, the innermost shell usually holds two electrons while the outer shells hold eight electrons each. The four electrons must be accommodated in the second shell in the ground state configuration of the compound.
However, when the atom is excited, one electron from this shell may move to the third shell to give the excited state configuration 2-3-1 as shown in the question.
Metallic bonding
The particles in a metal are held together by metallic bonds.
High melting and boiling points
Metallic bonds are strong and a lot of energy is needed to break them. This is why metals have high melting points and boiling points.
Conducting electricity
Metals contain electrons that are free to move in the metal structure, carrying charge from place to place and allowing metals to conduct electricity well.
Metallic bonding - Higher tier
Metallic bonding is the strong attraction between closely packed positive metal ions and a 'sea' of delocalised electrons.
