3. The electronic configuration of calcium is (18)?(23)? (38) (3p)Ⓡ(4s)? Explain briefly why calcium shows metallic conductivity according to (a) the nearly-free-electron model; (b) the tight-binding model. Hint: State how the standard band structures of these models are modified to account for the conductivity.
