Why the metals behave the way they behave?

Answer 1

Alkali metals are all of the elements on the far left hand side of the Periodic Table with the exception of hydrogen. They are all highly reactive metals that also react vigorously with water.

Answer 2

Metals conduct electricity because they have low resistance which means electric current flows more freely through them. Resistance is caused when electrons strike atoms, making them to vibrate.

Answer 3

Metals have many properties like conductivity of heat and electricity, ductility, malleability etcetera. There is no chemical bonding between the same molecules of the metal elements or the alloys. But there is physical type of bonding between the molecules of the elements. You have those extra electrons present in the metal blocks. They form the cloud of electrons, which move freely across the total quantity of the metal blocks. That forms the physical bonding between the molecules of the metal. So the whole block behaves like a single large molecule of the metal or the alloy. This cloud is responsible for most of the properties of the metals.

Answer 4

A metal contains delocalized electrons, or electrons that are not associated with any single atom, these electrons move easily when an electric potential is applied.

Answer 5

When reactive metals are exposed to air, they react rapidly. Especially with oxygen and water vapor. They are stored in oil to be kept away from air.

Answer 6

They "stick together" because they tend to donate electrons to the other element.

Answer 7

the power from te cord go on the metal so when you touch it you get shocked

Answer 8

Metals behave the way they behave because they are crystals containing atoms that are packed like balls inside a box.

Answer 9

a metal behave naughty
