Why can metallic elements bend, while solid but non-metallic break or crumble?

Metallic elements are flexible because of its experience for the atoms to roll on top of one added without crushing its metallic bond (This is because it is fascinated with united force, and is the cause why they have higher melting/boiling points); however, a nonmetals form atomic bonds which don't have this property.

Metallic elements can bend because they have the property of being ductile. This means that a solid material stretches under tensile stress. If a material is ductile then it may be stretched into a wire. Further, the material can also be malleable.

Answer:

a) The structure of anthracene is planar with all the pi electrons delocalized in the structure to maintain aromaticity.

b) The C-C bond length in anthracene is about 140 pm with all the bond lengths being similar to each other.

The standard C-C bond length is 154 pm while standard C=C bond is about 134 pm. Therefore the bond length in anthracene is smaller than standard C-C bond length and longer than standard C=C bond length. This can be explained from the fact that the C-C bonds in anthracene has be mixed characteristics of single and double bond because of the delocalization of pi electrons over the whole structure. As a result, they are neither fully single nor fully double bond in nature. Hence the observed bond lengths.

c) This molecule is not flat. The N-atom is sp3 hybridized here and the H-atom attached to N will remain out of plane.

If a bottle of olive oil contains 1.2 kg of olive oil, what is the volume, in milliliters (mL), of the olive oil?
Paul [167]

Answer:

1.3 mL

Explanation:

First, get the density of the olive oil, which is 0.917 kg/mL. Then divide the mass by the density:

1.2kg/0.917kg/mL= 1.3086150491 mL. The kg cancel out, leaving us with mL.

It should have 2 significant figures, because 1.2kg has 2 and we are dividing.

Why do you think a virus’s reproduction cycle is called the “lytic cycle”
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

The lytic cycle is named for the process of lysis, which occurs when a virus has infected a cell, replicated new virus particles, and bursts through the cell membrane. This releases the new virions, or virus complexes, so they can infect more cells
