Chapter 21, Problem 21.54SP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The properties of malleability and ductility of metals has to be explained using electron-sea model.

Concept introduction:

Electron-sea model:

  • Metals with single valence electron cannot not be localized because of less valence electrons to form electron pair. 
  • As a result valence electrons does not form electron pair bond between any atoms.  But the valence electrons are delocalized and contributes for whole crystal.
  • In electron sea model, metal cations are in a sea of electrons which moves freely in entire crystal.

    Figure 1

  • The delocalized electrons are responsible for electrostatic attraction between metal cations which are held together.
