Question
Chapter 21, Problem 21.3P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Use the relationship between the number of bonding electrons and antibonding electrons in MOs to explain the low melting point of mercury.
Concept introduction:
- Most metals occur in nature as minerals which are generally some form of metal oxide, and the mineral must be refined to isolate the pure metal from the mineral.
- To isolate the pure metal from an ore (mineral), the ore is often concentrated and undergoes chemical treatment prior to reduction, the ore is then reduced to the free metal and the metal is then refined and purified. This process refers to metallurgy.
- Band theory refers to the occupancy of the bonding and antibonding molecular orbitals.
To classify:The reason for the low melting point of mercury.
