Question

3 multiple answer 3 points 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 have low melting and boiling points. metals can be hammered into different shapes. 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 electrons are mobile (not stationary).
• Metals generally have high melting and boiling points (except for some like mercury, but overall the statement "low" is incorrect).
• Metals are malleable (can be hammered into different shapes) and 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.
