Metals generally have a valence electron that isn't strongly attracted to the nucleus allowing it to "flow" around the compound. This is the reason metals are so good at conduction electricity as there it little impedance when a voltage is applied.
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....
In General: Very High melting and boiling points Very Good Conductors of heat and electricity Malleable (can be made into different shapes without breaking) Ductile (can be molded...
Most metals have melting points that are accessible in a laboratory or at least in a forge or metal foundry. A few metals are even liquid at room temperature. Caesium...
But caesium and mercury are certainly room temperature LIQUIDS. That metals exist in condensed phases under standard conditions is a consequence of , which is a non-molecular force of interaction,...
$"Metallic bonding"$ consists of an array of close-packed metal atoms, which each contribute one or two or more electrons to the overall metallic lattice. And the result is the familiar...
are usually made of a metal cation and a nonmetal anion. Anions can be negatively charged ions made from , such as the oxide ion ($"O"^(2-)$), or chloride ion...
Metal are typically , in which a metal cation is ionically bonded to an anion. The anion can be from a single element, such as chlorine, or it can be...
Metallic contain a metal and a nonmetal or polyatomic ion, and are generally . The metal is always written first, followed by the nonmetal or polyatomic ion. For example, the...
As a scientist you should check the boiling points of the gases. Clearly, the one that is most involatile is least like the ideal. Given that sulfur dioxide has the...
