What type of bonds will have the highest electrical and thermal conductivity?
i think ionic bond why because if more ions are there more is the conductivity.
What property of metallic bonds affect the thermal and electrical conductivity of metals?
electron negativity
Is iron metallic or non-metallic?
Elemental iron is metallic. Its low electronegativity allows electrons to move freely between atomic orbits, allowing the conductivity, malleability, and ductility that usually define metals.
What do mobile electrons produce?
Ability to conduct a current electric mabeability
What property determines the choice of material that is used for the inside of an electrical wire and the material that is used for the outside of the wire?
The most important property is the conductivity of the material under consideration. A high conductivity is needed for the inside, and a very low conductivity for the outside. Only after this can we consider other factors, such as cost, strength, toxicity, flammability, flexibility, corrosion resistance and ease of making and shaping.
Which are some effects of metallic bonding?
Malleability, Ductile, Luster, Electrical Conductivity, and Thermal Conductivity.
Why electrical conductivity of metals decrease with increase in temperature?
The reason for this very behaviour of metals is explained by the fact that at random, the free electrons moving in a metallic object (say wire) also collide with the atoms contained in the wire. Due to these collisions, their kinetic energy is wasted to some extent. When the temperature of such a metallic wire is increased, their collisions with the containing atoms become more frequent and ultimately more energy is wasted. This obviously reduce their thermal and electrical conductivity.
What are the three metallic properties of elements?
The main three properties of the metals are malleability (you can shape it easily), ductility (you can turn it into a wire) and conductivity (it will carry heat and electricity very well).
What are metallic elements generally known for?
Conductivity I am pretty sure that's it.
Electrical conductivity is an example of what?
Metal wire has high electrical conductivity.
What does the electron sea model of metallic bonds help you to explain?
Properties of metals as high boiling point, high melting point, malleability, ductility, electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, lustre are explained by the theory of metallic bonds.
Does the value of thermal conductivity depend on the dimension of the specimen?
Thermal conductivity is an intensive property. It is inherent in the material but not dependent on the amount of material. This should not be confused with the rate of heat conduction which can depend on the dimensions of a material. There is one case where the thermal conductivity might depend on the dimension of the material - when the conductivity is not uniform with direction, i.e. where conductivity laterally is different from conductivity longitudinally. When the orientation of the material changes the conductivity, the dimensions can have an effect on the apparent bulk thermal conductivity.
Three properties of metals that are caused by metallic bonding?
Three properties of metals that are caused by metallic bonding are electrical conductivity, malleability, and ductility.
What type of bonds will have the highest electrical and thermal conductivity?
i think ionic bond why because if more ions are there more is the conductivity.
What are the differences between metallic and non-metallic minerals?
Metallic minerals have a significant metallic elemental composition, resulting in a set of physical properties that are specific to them such as conductivity and metallic luster. Non-metallic minerals do not possess significant elemental metallic composition of exhibit those physical properties.
What is one property that may be used to digstinguish metallic from nonmetallic minerals?
One is conductivity.
What are three properties of metal that are a result of metallic bonds?
electrical conductivity, malleability, & ductility.
