Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Based on given pictures the metals which relates to it has to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Molecular orbital theory:
Molecular orbital theory describes molecules in electronic structure. Electrons are moving around nuclei in entire molecule. Atomic orbitals in which electrons present in one atom. Molecular orbitals in which electrons are present in more atoms. Bonding and anti-bonding orbitals are found in molecular orbital theory.
(b)
Interpretation:
From the given metals, metal with highest melting point and hardest has to be explained.
