because of lack of plastic deformation (no dislocation movement in its structure). So, you cannot sheet or forge a graphite as steel for example.
That is phosphorus trichloride and a COVALENT BOND
Cl needs one electron and P has metallic character, it donates electron easy
Answer:
they are metals so they are:-
-malleable
-ductile
because metallic bonding is the same in all direction throughout the solid
Answer:
Electrons
Explanation:
According to the Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory (VSEPR), the geometry of a molecule depends on the number of electron pairs (regions of electron density) on the central atom of the molecule. Electron pairs on the valence shell of the molecule tend to position themselves as far apart in space as possible to minimize repulsion between them. Hence, the orientation of these electron pairs is the ultimate determinant of the observed geometry of a molecule.
Lone pairs of electrons cause more repulsion than bond pairs of electrons on the central atom of a molecule. Hence when the central atom of a molecule contains lone pairs of electrons, the molecular geometry is usually distorted from the expected geometry on the basis of VSEPR theory.
Hence, electrons are the subatomic particles which are responsible for any change in the observed molecular geometry of a molecule.
