Explain why gold can be used in jewelry and as a conductor in electronic devices

Select all correct statements

• Metals often form lattices in the solid state

• Metals cannot exist in the liquid state

• It is difficult to introduce other elements into the metallic crystal

• Alloys have properties that differ from the properties of the elements from which they were made

• All metals are malleable

The image shows :

• A substitutional alloy since the yellow atoms replaced the empty space between the blue atoms

• An interstitial alloy since the yellow atoms are the same size as the blue atoms

• A interstitial alloy since the yellow atoms filled the empty space between the blue atoms

Electrons involved in metallic bonding are reffered to as ________ electrons

All uncharged atoms have valence electrons. Explain why elements such as iodine and sulfur do not have metallic bonds
