Question:

What happens to the melting point of metals down a group

Author: Marilyn Bob-Manuel 3ekt



Answer:

Melting point decreases as there are more occupied energy levels, and so the nucleus is further away from delocalised electrons. The inner energy levels also screen the nucleus from delocalised electrons, decreasing the strength of the metallic bond
