Od. 0-0 does not pair of the Molecules bid it’s polar bond due to certain pairs of molecules not being present within its presentations
Answer:
Option (A) the solid X is ground to a fine powder.
Explanation:
X(s) + 2B(aq) → X+(aq) + B2(g)
In the reaction above, the rate of the reaction will be highest, when X being a solid is ground to fine powder.
Grounding X to fine powder simply means increasing the surface area of X.
An increase in surface area of reactants will definitely increase the rate of reaction because the particles of the solid will collide with the right orientation and hence speed up the reaction rate.
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.
