Q. Metals are lustrous in nature, having shiny appearance. Arrange the reasons given below in a sequence.
(a) Emission of radiation or light energy by excited electrons makes a metal shiny in appearance.
(b) The electrostatic forces of attraction between metal ions and the mobile electrons is called metallic bond.
(c) The positive metal ions are surrounded by pool of electrons.
(d) When light falls on the crystal, electrons get excited.

Q. Non-metals have........electrons in valence shell.

Q. Chemical compounds in which anions and cations are held together by electrostatic force of attraction are known as ionic compounds. Cations and anions are charged species which are formed by losing and gaining electron(s) respectively to attain the nearest noble gas configuration or stability. Usually metals lose their valence electrons to form cations while non-metals accept electrons and form anions. Being held by a strong electrostatic force of attraction between ions, ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points.
