Interpretation:
To explain the facts that Tungsten is hard and has a very high melting point and gold is soft and hasa relatively low melting point are in better agreement with the electron-sea model or the MO model.
Concept introduction:
Molecularorbital theory is determining to molecular structure in which electrons are not assigned to individual bonds between atoms, but are treated as moving under the influence of the nuclei in the whole molecule
To explain:
The facts that Tungsten is hard and has a very high melting point and gold is soft and has a relatively low melting point are in better agreement with the electron-sea model or the MO model.
