What is produced when acids react with some metals?
Hydrogen gas is produced when acids react with some metals. Protons are reduced as the metal is oxidized.
Why does current generally involve the flow of electrons but not protons?
The protons are bound inside the nucleus and are not free. In conductors, the electrons are free to move.
Do metals have electric conductivity?
Type your answer here... due to free electrons metals are good conductor
What element has 39 protons and 50 neutrons?
Yttrium has 39 protons and 50 neutrons.It is represented by symbol Y.It belongs to group 3 of transition metals.
The atoms of the most active non-metals have?
large atomic radii and low ionization energies
Do electrons free drift in metals?
Yes, electrons move freely in metals.
When an element with 115 protons in its nucleus is synthesized what will it be?
metals
How many protons does the largest transition metals have in its nucleus?
The largest transition metal is copernicium with 112 protons.
In Chemical reactions metals are considered electron because?
protons
Free-electron gas in metals?
Electrons in metals are delocalized and in a free movement.
Is aggressive to metals?
Sources of protons, water, acids in particular, alcohols
How can you get free drift city accounts?
gica
Why are metals better conductors of electricity than glass or ceramic materials?
it is because wood is not a better insulator metal heats up faster depending on the metal. suppose you are heating up aluminum, it would heat up faster because there are more free electrons so it can transfer heat faster.
What is good heat conductor?
most metals are good heat conductors, because their electrons are free to move around the protons in like a 'sea of electrons' and that enables them to be good charge carriers. (:
What this element has five valence electrons shows properties of metals and non metals and has 33 protons in the nucleus of each atom?
Arsenic
How many alkali earth metals have more than 30 protons?
3
Can electrons move?
They move all the time. They drift between atoms in metals, move fairly rapidly within stars, and drift for light years in inter-galactic space.
