They are all soft, silver metals. Beryllium reacts with acids and with water to form hydrogen gas. It reacts briefly with oxygen in the air to form beryllium oxide BeO. The beryllium oxide forms a thin skin on the surface of the metal that prevents the metal from reacting further with oxygen. Positive ions decreases in size by losing electrons. The valence shell of aluminum has three electrons, and per the octet rule, these three electrons are lost resulting in just 10 electrons and 13 protons.
In Pb, due to the relativistic effect of 6s, there is a very high promotional energy from 6s to 6p. This energy cannot be compensated by bond formation. At the end of the article we can sum up that lead is a diamagnetic substance. The main reason for this is the alignment of magnetic dipoles in the opposite direction to that of the external magnetic field. Another reason is, that the electrons are in paired fashion in the MO diagram of Pb.
Also, its magnetic susceptibility is negative indicating that lead repels from the external magnetic field.

Skip to content Lead, a very widely used in batteries across the world.
It belongs to the post-transition metals and can be easily extracted from ores. Why is Lead Diamagnetic? Thus this MOT depicts the diamagnetic nature of Pb. In the video, the movement of the magnet is a lot quicker in lead than the rest. The reason for that is the difference in the electrical resistivity of these metals. Magnetic Susceptibility of Lead According to different facts, it is clear that magnetic susceptibility is negative. It is positive in the case of paramagnetic and ferromagnetic substances.
Negative for diamagnetics and zero if the material does not respond to magnetic fields. Magnetic moment tells us about the magnetic strength of a metal. If you want to check its magnetic moment the formula is given below:- Does lead block magnetic fields? Thus the electrons in 6s remain chemically inert. Properties of Lead Pb This metal appears as blue-whitish and lustrous in nature. Like other metals, it is highly malleable, ductile in nature.
It has its 13 isotopes that are also the end products of radioactive elements. When nonmetals bond together, the atoms share valence electrons and do not become ions. The characteristics of metallic bonds explain a number of the unique properties of metals: Metals are good conductors of electricity because the electrons in the electron sea are free to flow and carry electric current. Metals are ductile and malleable because local bonds can be easily broken and reformed.
Both the ductility and malleability of metals can be explained in terms of the mobility of valence electrons.
A sea of drifting valence electrons insulates the metal cations from one another. When a metal is subjected to pressure, the metal cations easily slide past one another like ball bearings immersed in oil. The electrons that occupy the outer most shell of an atom are called valence electrons. They are important because they determine how an atom will react. What is the particular significance of valence electrons? Valence electrons form chemical bonds between atoms by being transferred or shared.
Two different elements have similar chemical properties when they have the same number of valence electrons in their outermost energy level. In general, the number of valence electrons is the same within a column and increases from left to right within a row. Group 1 elements have just one valence electron and group 18 elements have eight, except for helium, which has only two electrons total.
In this sense the third shell can hold 8 electrons. In this sense the third shell can hold a total of 18 electrons. So the third shell can be considered to hold 8 or 18 electrons but in total the third shell can hold 18 electrons. Group 4 elements have 4 valence electrons.
The non-metals in this family react by gaining 4 extra electrons through the formation of covalent bonds sharing bonds. Group 4A or IVA of the periodic table includes the nonmetal carbon C , the metalloids silicon Si and germanium Ge , the metals tin Sn and lead Pb , and the yet-unnamed artificially-produced element ununquadium Uuq. The Group 4A elements have four valence electrons in their highest-energy orbitals ns2np2.
