Why metals good electrical conductors?
In their regular (lattice) structure, metals have a sea of free electrons. This allows the electrons to flow through the metal at will and this is what makes metals good conductors of electricity (and heat).Their mobile electrons
Is a metals luster is due to its valence electrons?
Most of the properties of a metal, including lustre, are due to the metallic bonding of the electrons.
How are metals distinguished from nonmetals?
The electrons in metals move freely. This means metals are metallic i.e. Shiny due to light reflecting off electrons and malleable i.e. Bendable due to free electrons
What property of metals make them good conductors of heat?
their mobile electrons
Which property of metals make them good conductors of heat?
Their mobile electrons
Why are metals have high elctrical conductivity?
Metals have high electrical conductivity because they have alot of free mobile electrons. Metals have metallic bonding in which a sea of electrons is created. It is this sea of electrons that enables metals to conduct electricity so well.
Why metals are good conductor of heat and electricity?
This is due to the fact that in metals electrons are delocalized and can move free.
Is a metals luster due to its valence electrons?
Most of the properties of a metal, including lustre, are due to the metallic bonding of the electrons.
Do metals have electric conductivity?
Type your answer here... due to free electrons metals are good conductor
Why do metals conduct heat and electricity?
Electrons in metals are mobile and carry (conduct) electricity and heat energy. Plato: Free moving electrons carry both heat and electric current throughout the system
Positive ions usually form from?
Usually, negative ions are formed by losing of electrons from the atom. Due to which, that atom get positively charged( due to having more number of protons than electrons).
When nonmetals and metals react which atom electrons?
Metals loss electrons and nonmetals gain electrons.
