Question
Chapter 21, Problem 21.9QP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Metallic conduction in terms of molecular orbital theory (band theory) has to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Molecular orbital theory:
The atomic orbitals involved in bonding actually combine to form new orbitals that are the “property” of the entire molecule, rather than of the individual atoms forming the bonds. These new orbitals are called molecular orbitals.
- In molecular orbital theory, electrons shared by atoms in a molecule reside in the molecular orbitals.
Metallic conduction:
Metals are having high density conduction electrons and these are called valence electrons and which are involved in bonding.
