Explanation:
Metals are elements that ionized by loss of electrons.
Ionic and molecular compounds are usually non-metals.
Properties of metals:
- Metals have free mobile electrons and the metallic bonding ensures that.
- They are usually electropositive and freely looses their electrons.
- None of the metal is soluble without a chemical change occurring.
- They are ductile and malleable.
- Metals are good conductor or heat and electricity in their free uncombined state.
- They are lustrous.
B. The specific property of metals accountable for their unusual electrical conductivity is due to the presence of free mobile electrons in their lattices.

CaCO₃ partially dissociates in water as Ca²⁺ and CO₃²⁻. The balanced equation is,
CaCO₃(s) ⇄ Ca²⁺(aq) + CO₃²⁻(aq)
Initial Y - -
Change -X +X +X
Equilibrium Y-X X X
Ksp for the CaCO₃(s) is 3.36 x 10⁻⁹ M²
Ksp = [Ca²⁺(aq)][CO₃²⁻(aq)]
3.36 x 10⁻⁹ M² = X * X
3.36 x 10⁻⁹ M² = X²
X = 5.79 x 10⁻⁵ M
Hence the solubility of CaCO₃(s) = 5.79 x 10⁻⁵ M
= 5.79 x 10⁻⁵ mol/L
Molar mass of CaCO₃ = 100 g mol⁻¹
Hence the solubility of CaCO₃ = 5.79 x 10⁻⁵ mol/L x 100 g mol⁻¹
= 5.79 x 10⁻³ g/L
Nothing in particular determines the name of an element, it could range from who discovered it to where it was discovered!
