Q

What does Expanding the Octet mean?

A

Some Elements use their Empty d Sub-Shells to Accept More Than 8 Electrons into their Outer Shell through Covalent Bonding

Q

What does Reducing the Octet mean?

A

Reducing the Octet is where some elements can have Less than 8 Electrons in their Outer Shell through Covalent Bonding. They keep the Same Number of Outer Electrons and find Stability Through Other Means.

Q

Why Are Metals Malleable and Ductile?

A

Metals are Malleable and Ductile as Atoms can roll over eachother Without Breaking Bonds

17
Q

What Is an Alloy?

A

An Alloy is a Mixture of Metal with other Atoms, they are used to Disrupt Layers and change the Properties of the Metal
