Question
Chapter 21, Problem 21.57SP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The difference in melting point between magnesium and sodium has to be explained using electron-sea model.
Concept introduction:
Electron-sea model:
- Metals with single valence electron cannot not be localized because of less valence electrons to form electron pair.
- As a result valence electrons does not form electron pair bond between any atoms. But the valence electrons are delocalized and contributes for whole crystal.
- In electron sea model, metal cations are in a sea of electrons which moves freely in entire crystal.
Figure 1
- The delocalized electrons are responsible for electrostatic attraction between metal cation which held together.
