What is the basic of bonding in a sea of electrons?
One description of the bonding in metals is positive ions in a sea of electrons--which was I think the Somerfield model. This may be what is being referred to.
What contribution to atomic theory resulted from Albert Einsteins work?
a new model of the atom that describe electrons as being in a cloud
Which showed electrons in specific fixed orbits?
The Bohr model
How the atomic model changed over time?
The atomic model has been refined from "the plum pudding" model,to a nucleus with orbiting electrons,to an awareness of many different sub atomic particles in the nucleus and electrons that are in energy levels,to electrons in sub energy levels and in distinct orbitals with different associated energy and behaviour
Where are the electrons located in Bohr's atomic model?
In this model, the electrons move or orbit around the protons that are at the center of the atom. Electrons move around the nucleus, which contains the proton, in orbits that have a definite size and energy.
What does the model of a sea of electrons help explain?
It helps explain metallic bonds.
What represents the way electrons exist in metals?
The electron sea model represents the way electrons exist in metals.

What does the model sea of electrons help explain?
Mobile electrons are shared by all the atoms in an electron-sea model of a metallic bond. The electrons are delocalized, which means that they do not belong to any one atom but move freely about the metal's network of empty atomic orbitals.
The electron sea model for metlas suggests that?
the valence electrons drift freely around the metal cations.
Why is the number of electrons more than nucleus in the sea of electrons model?
In any neutral object the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons. All metallic elements contain more than one proton in the nucleus. Therefore there will be more electrons than atomic nuclei.
How the electrons flow in a rod?
There are several models describing how electric charge flows in a metal. Here are a couple: The Drude model: In the Drude model, electrons are modeled as a gas within a sea of heavy ions (the nuclei of the atoms that the electrons come from). To make things less complicated, the Drude model ignores all interactions between electrons and the electrical interactions between electrons and ions. Collision interactions between electrons and ions, hover, is not ignored. In this model, electrons exchange energy only via external forces and collisions with ions. The Fermi Gas model: In this model, electrons are treated once again as a gas, but they are no longer considered to be particles, but quantum mechanical wave functions. Electron - ion interactions are once again ignored, so the electrons are treated as free particle wave functions with periodic boundary conditions.
What is the ionic charge of solid copper metal?
Copper metal is not ionic. (The metallic bonding model of ions in a sea of electrons, is just a simplifification)
How did J. J. Thomson change the atomic model based on his experimental results?
He described the atom as a sea of positive charge sprinkled with electrons
What bond has the characteristic of a sea of mobile electrons?
Metallic bonds have the characteristics of a sea of mobile electrons.
In Niels Bohr and model of the atom how are electrons configured?
In Niels Bohr's model of the atom, how are electrons configured?
In niels Bohr's model of the atom how are electrons configured?
In Niels Bohr's model of the atom, how are electrons configured?
