The free electron model analyzes the valence electrons of a metal as though they behaved like one of these entities.
The free electron model analyzes the valence electrons of a metal as though they behaved like one of these entities. Substances tend to behave more like these as temperature increases and particle number decreases, thereby decreasing the relative size of intermolecular (IN-ter-mo-LECK-you-lur) forces. For 10 points, name these substances, whose namesake equation of state is often given as PV (P-V) equals nRT (N-R-T).
