Concept introduction:
Physical characteristic of metals is as follows:
- They are good conductors of heat and electricity.
- They have a shiny surface.
- Malleable and ductile.
- They are found as solid in room temperature except for mercury (it is liquid at RT).

Answer to Problem 1STP
The model supported description B. Metals are excellent conductors of heat and electricity.
Explanation of Solution
Reason for correct option: The figure given in the question explained that the metals are excellent conductors of heat and electricity. Metals exist in a metallic solid. The figure shows that cations are encompassed by a sea of delocalized electrons. Metals conduct heat and electricity very well because the ions are close packing and the delocalized electrons conduct kinetic energy. Therefore, option B is correct.
Reason for incorrect option: A. Metals are shiny, reflective substances. It is a characteristic of the metal. But the figure does not explain why this property exists. So, option A, does not verify the figure.
C. Ionic compounds are malleable compounds. This statement is not correct because ionic solids disperse when an outside force is applied to them. The figure shows that cations encompassed by a sea of electrons. That means the figure apparently introducing metallic solids, not ionic solids. Therefore, option C, does not support the figure.
D. Ionic compounds are good conductors of electricity. This statement is not correct because it specified that the ionic compound conducts electricity only in the melted or dissolved state. The given figure shows that cations surrounded by a sea of electrons. That means the figure clearly referring metallic solids not ionic solids. Therefore, option C, does not support the figure.

- (15 pts) Consider the molecule B2H6. Generate a molecular orbital diagram but this time using a different approach that draws on your knowledge and ability to put concepts together. First use VSEPR or some other method to make sure you know the ground state structure of the molecule. Next, generate an MO diagram for BH2. Sketch the highest occupied and lowest unoccupied MOs of the BH2 fragment. These are called frontier orbitals. Now use these frontier orbitals as your basis set for producing LGO's for B2H6. Since the BH2 frontier orbitals become the LGOS, you will have to think about what is in the middle of the molecule and treat its basis as well. Do you arrive at the same qualitative MO diagram as is discussed in the book?
