∙ 12y agoElectrons of metals are very loosely bound and tend to "float" among the various atoms. This causes the high electrical conductivity of metals. This bond is called a metallic bond.

How does acid rain effect materials?
it melt
Why does titanium have a higher ionization energy than vanadium?
titanium has 2 d electrons and vanadium whereas vanadium only has 3 d electrons, hence the electron to be removed from the 4s shell experiences a greater shielding effect in vanadium as compared to in titanium and hence is easier to remove. however subsequently, the effect of the charge of the nucleus holding the electrons increases by more than proportionate than the shielding effect of the d orbitals.
Why do metals like copper conduct electricity?
The outer electrons in a metal atom are loosely held, as a result they are easily moved from one atom to the next, transferring energy with it. When this happens though a piece of metal in one direction this energy gets transferred from one electron to the next, in a sort of domino effect
What is electron shielding?
•The shielding effect describes the decrease in attraction between an electron and the nucleus in any atom with more than one electron shell. •It is also referred to as the screening effect or atomic shielding. •Shielding electrons are the electrons in the energy levels between the nucleus and the valence electrons. They are called "shielding" electrons because they "shield" the valence electrons from the force of attraction exerted by the positive charge in the nucleus. Also, it has trends in the Periodic Table
What is meant by screening effect?
Screening effect also known as shielding effect is when the electron in the outermost orbital faces inter electronic repulsion from the inner electrons, thus reducing the effective nucleur charge.
What is the effect of electrons held loosely?
__________ electrons are loosely held to a positive nucleus.
How are conduction and heat different?
Conduction is the transfer of electrons in an element while Heat is the effect caused due to the transfer of electrons .
Why are magnet attracted?
Magnets have lone pair of electrons in its loosely bounded Shell (valence orbit) the electrons are in spin motion in orbitals In the orbital which don't have two electrons to cancel each other effect of spinning, causes a field around it. Therefore it created a field around the whole element

Why iodine has metallic luster?
as going down the group the size of the atom increases so electrons become loosely bonded moreover shielding effect increases so thats why it has metallic luster
What is the effect of washing on dyed materials?
the effect on dyed materials is
Why does cotton make more static electricity?
Because Cotton is low on the list of electrons. If you rub 2 materials together, the lowest one on the list will take the electrons away from the other and it will result in a negative effect.
Why are atoms more likely to lose an electron as you go down a group?
this occurs because of the shielding effect of inner electrons.as we go down the group- number of electronic shells increases, which restricts the outer most electrons from being attracted by the protons of nucleus.as the result of this effect the outer most electrons are loosely attracted by the nucleus,resulting the increase of atomic radii.hence making it easier for atoms to lose electrons down the group.
How does acid rain effect the ozone layer?
It doesn't. Ozone depletion is caused by CFCs and other halogen containing materials not NOx or SOx
Is Coriolis effect caused by tornadoes?
No, the Coriolis effect is caused by Earth's rotation.
Can you twist polar bonds with magnets?
No. Polar bonds are caused buy an unequal distribution of electrons in the chemical bond, the polarity is electrostatic not magnetic so magnets have no effect.
