Why don’t metals break when pounded into sheets or drawn into wires?
the electrons in metals are shared so that the bond between them is too strong to be broken by pounding.
the electrons in metals allow the cations to slide past and thereby reduce the repulsive force between them.
the electrons in metals are either given up or taken up while bonding, creating a bond too strong to be broken by pounding.
they form molecules in which each atom is bonded to many other atoms, forming a sturdy structure which doesn’t break on pounding.
they form molecules which have a very high boiling and melting point, which makes them resistant to breaking.

Be sure to answer all parts. the catalytic destruction of ozone occurs via a two-step mechanism, where x can be any of several species: (1) x + o3 → xo + o2 [slow] (2) xo + o → x + o2 [fast] (a) write the overall reaction. o3 + o → 2 o2 o3 + xo → x + 2 o2 xo + x + o3 + o → xo + x + 2 o2 x + o3 → xo + o2 (b) write the rate law for each step (using k for the rate constant). reaction 1: reaction 2: k[x][o2] k[xo][o2] k[x][o3] k[xo][o3] k[xo][o2] k[x][o] k[x][o2] k[xo][o] (c) x acts as a and xo acts as a catalyst intermediate intermediate catalyst (d) high-flying aircraft release no into the stratosphere, which catalyzes this process. when o3 and no concentrations are 3 ă— 1012 molecule/cm3 and 9.9 ă— 109 molecule/cm3, respectively, what is the rate of o3 depletion? the rate constant k for the rate-determining step is 6 ă— 10â’15 (cm3)2/moleculeâ·s. give your answer in scientific notation. use one significant figure in your answer. ă— 10 molecule/s
