What represents the way electrons exist in metals?
Electrons in metals can move freely within the material due to the delocalized electron cloud formed by the overlapping atomic orbitals. This allows for high electrical conductivity in metals as the free electrons can carry electric current.
In what way is hydrogen like the alkali metals?
Hydrogen shares some properties with alkali metals, particularly in its ability to lose one electron to form a cation with a +1 charge like alkali metals. However, hydrogen is a nonmetal and not a metal like the alkali metals.
Why mobility of electrone is larger than hole?
I may be wrong but...Holes don't exist - they are a nice way of describing electron movement but it's just a mathematical and descriptive term. Electrons do the actual moving Holes are just a way of talking baout electron movement.Electrons don't really exist either but that's getting a bit far into the physics.
What is the noble gas configuration of boron?
The electron configuration of boron is: [He]2s2.2p1.
Do the magnetic lines of force actually exist?
No actual 'lines' exist, but it is a useful way of describing a magnetic field, as it represents the direction the north pole of a magnet would move if it was free to do so.
Why reactive metals are usually found in compounded form?
Reactive metals are usually found in compound simply because they react easily. They readily form compounds by reacting with air, water, or other substances in their environment. It is also difficult to extract many of these from their compounds, often electrolysis is the only effective way. This process does not usually occur in nature.
Why is sodium metal highly reactive when a sodium ion is not?
In the Group 1 and Group 2 elements, these metals want to loan out electrons to achieve what is called inert gas electron configuration, which is a full outer electron shell or valence shell. Because of their electron configurations as elemental metals, they are in a big hurry to do this (they are very reactive). In the ion, the metal has already loaned an electron (in the case of the Group 1 metals) or two electrons (in the case of the Group 2 metals). As an ion, the metal is "happy" because it has already reacted and loaned out the electron or electrons that will allow it to achieve inert gas electron configuration.
How can you measure the diameter of an electron if an electron has the mass of 9.10910to the -31kg?
The size of an electron is often described by the term "electron radius," which represents the distance from the center of the electron to the edge of its hypothetical spherical charge distribution. The approximate electron radius is about 2.82 x 10^-15 meters. However, it's important to note that electrons do not have a well-defined, physical size in the same way that macroscopic objects do.
What kind of bond does lithium make with non-metals?
Ionic. Lithium is in Group (I) , like sodium and potassium , and thereby it behaves in a similar way. Lithium atom will ionise an electron to form the lithium cation. Li(s) == Li^(+) + e^(-)
Will lithium oxide and lithium dioxide react the same way in glazes?
Lithium dioxide doesn't exist, lithium is not able to share one electron to both oxid atom.
Where is the alkali metals located on the periodic table?
The alkali earth metals are in the 2nd group, or column of the Periodic Table. They are bordered by the alkali metals on the left and the transition metals on the right.
Explain why almost all metals tend to form cation?
Metals lose electrons, gaining a positive charge, thus becoming cations. An easy way to remember which is which is that cats (cations) are happy (positive) and onions(anions) make you cry (negative).
