Chapter 17, Problem 16STP

To determine

To Explain: The type of bond with their properties.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

Metals are good conductors of electricity. To conduct the electricity in any material there are movement of electrons. In metals, there is metallic bonding between metallic ions (positive charged) surrounded by electrons.

Metals are good conductors of electricity and heat. Metals have property to be drawn into long wire and thin sheets without any break. This is due to the bond present between the ions. Metallic bonding is the reason for the properties of metals.

In metals, the outer electrons are not held strongly to nucleus of atom so these electrons are move freely.

Conclusion:

Thus, the type od bond is metallic bonding.
