Question

which of the following statements about metals are true? select all that apply. the sea of electrons holds metal anions together throughout the entire solid metals can be hammered into different shapes. metals in solid form have specific crystal structures metals can be drawn into wires metals are not able to conduct electricity due to stationary electrons metals have low melting and boiling points

Explanation:

• Metals are malleable (can be hammered into different shapes) and ductile (can be drawn into wires). In solid form, they have specific crystal structures.
• The sea of electrons holds metal cations (not anions) together. Metals conduct electricity due to delocalized (not stationary) electrons. Most metals have high (not low) melting and boiling points.

Answer:

• Metals can be hammered into different shapes.
• Metals in solid form have specific crystal structures.
• Metals can be drawn into wires.
