Question
pictured above are three aluminum atoms. the nuclei and inner electrons have been dimmed to draw attention to the outer (valence) electrons. recall that aluminum is a good conductor of electricity. what is the best description of what will happen the electrons in the next few moments? there will be a flow to the left there will be a flow to the right the electrons will remain still the electrons will be exchanged between the atoms, but for the most part each atom will have 3 valence electrons.
Aluminio es un conductor metálico; sus electrones de valencia (3 por átomo) son deslocalizados y fluyen libremente bajo tensión. La imagen probablemente indica dirección de flujo.
