And is proposed to be responsible for (i) the malleability (the ability to be beaten into a sheet), and (ii) the ductility (the ability to be drawn into a wire) that ALL metals possess.

Why does metallic confer these properties? Because each metal atom in the metallic lattice contributes 1 or 2 of its to the lattice, with the result that the there are free holding the metal together electrostatically, such that the positively charged metal nuclei can move with respect to each other WITHOUT disrupting the bonding interaction, and the metal is normally conductive to heat and electricity.

What condition would have made the primitive atmosphere of Earth more conductive to the origin of life than?

In the primitive atmosphere, free oxygen was absent. It facilitated the formation of simple organic chemical compounds without loss from oxidstion. Finally, the polymers, essential for primitve life were formed...

A researcher is trying to create a new super conductive wire. Which category on the periodic table should he or she look in first?

Metals are going to be the most conductive on . This is because of , where electrons are free and mobile. It also accounts for a relatively high boiling point....

Why are metals malleable, and ductile, and conductive of heat and electricity?

$"Metallic bonding"$ results from the close packing of metal atoms, such that the atoms contribute a few of their to the overall lattice. These are delocalized, and not associated with...

What are metallic compounds and why are they conductive?

The reason as to why metallic posses these properties is because the electrons do not stay in their assigned orbitals, they become delocalised and move all over the place....

Why are covalent compounds not conductive?

In order to have a electrical conductivity, you must have free flowing electrons or a "sea of electrons", however, covalent bonds does not have it as it is the sharing...

Why is ionic solid non-conductive, yet its solutions in water, or in the liquid state, it carries a charge?

Take a simple salt such as $NaCl$. We might represent this as $Na^+Cl^-$. Now in the solid state, each cation ($Na^+$) is directly bound to 6 anions ($Cl^-$), and vice...

Why is an ionic solid non-conductive, but conductive in aqueous solution?

The generic ionic solid is $MX$, and consists of equal number of $M^+$ and $X^-$ ions that are held together in a non-molecular, electrostatically bound lattice. The ions are not...

Why are ionic solids non-conductive?

A solid ionic substance is composed of an infinite array of positive and negative ions held together by strong electrostatic forces. The ions are NOT free to move. Once these...

I measured $"5.00 g"$ copper sulfate solid and $"6.530 g"$ zinc. If for this reaction $q_(rxn) = "979.72 cal"$ of energy was involved, why is my percent error of the standard enthalpy of reaction for the reaction of zinc with copper sulfate so big???

Based on the information I got from you: $m_"Zn" = "6.530 g"$ $m_("CuSO"_4cdot5"H"_2"O") = "5.00 g"$ (in lab you tend to be handed the hydrate) From the molar...

Zinc oxide reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce zinc chloride and dihydrogen monoxide. If 3.6 moles of zinc oxide reacts with an excess of hydrochloric acid, then how many grams of zinc chloride were produced?

The reaction happening in solution is the following: $ZnO(aq)+2HCl(aq)->ZnCl_2(aq)+H_2O(l)$ Since the hydrochloric acid ($HCl$) is in excess, therefore, the number of moles of Zinc oxide ($ZnO$) will determine the mass...
