What happens to the outermost levels of metal atoms in a metallic bond?
They OVERLAP
When a group 1 metal reacts what happens to the outer shell electrons of its atoms?
they loose electrons from its outershell
What metals react with other metals what happens to the valence electrons of the metal atoms?
== == When metals react with other elements, the atoms of the metals give up their valence electrons.
When metal corrodes the metal atoms lose what?
electrons
What happens between atoms during a chemical reaction?
This happens when atoms are rearanged
A metal can be stretched into a thin wire because it is?
ductile, meaning that it can be deformed without breaking and can be stretched into a thin wire shape. This property is the result of the metallic bonds between atoms in the metal, which allow for the movement of atoms without causing structural failure.
what usually happens when a metal reacts with a nonmetal?
electrons are transferred from the metal atoms to the non-metal atoms forming ions resulting in an ionic compound
What happens to the outermost levels of metal atoms in a metallic bond?
They OVERLAP
What happens when two non metal atoms ionize?
generally anions are formed
What happens when metal gets harder?
thats what she said they errect jkjk the atoms are changeing
What happens to the atoms in the metal when a piece of copper is pulled into a wire?
The atoms slide over each other and thefore are placed in a new structure.
Can metal be stretched into wire?
yes
When a group 1 metal reacts what happens to the outer shell electrons of its atoms?
they loose electrons from its outershell
In the photoelectric what happens when light hits the metal?
electrons are knocked off atoms causing electricity to flow
When metals react with other elements what happens to the valence of the metal atoms?
== == When metals react with other elements, the atoms of the metals give up their valence electrons.
Can a metal be stretched into a wire?
Malleable means it can be hammered into a thin sheet. Ductile means it can be stretched into a wire.
When metals react to the other elements what happens to the valence electrons of the metal Atoms?
== == When metals react with other elements, the atoms of the metals give up their valence electrons.
