Question

storyline 1 exam
which of the following statements about metals are true? select all that apply.
metals in solid form have specific crystal structures
the sea of electrons holds metal anions together throughout the entire solid
metals are not able to conduct electricity due to stationary electrons
metals can be hammered into different shapes.
metals have low melting and boiling points
metals can be drawn into wires

Explanation:

• Metals in solid form have specific crystal structures (e.g., face - centered cubic, body - centered cubic).
• The sea of electrons holds metal cations (not anions) together.
• Metals conduct electricity because of delocalized (not stationary) electrons.
• Metals are malleable (can be hammered into different shapes).
• Metals generally have high melting and boiling points (except for some like mercury).
• Metals are ductile (can be drawn into wires).

Answer:

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