Concept explainers
(a)
To determine:
The authenticity of the given statement, “Metals have high electrical conductivities because the electrons in the metal are delocalized”.
(b)
To determine:
The authenticity of the given statement, “Metals have high electrical conductivities because they are denser than other solids”.
(c)
To determine:
The authenticity of the given statement, “Metals have large thermal conductivities because they expand when heated”.
(d)
To determine:
The authenticity of the given statement, “Metals have small thermal conductivities because the delocalized electrons cannot easily transfer the kinetic energy imparted to the metal from heat”.
