What is the basis of a metallic bond?
the attraction of neutral metal atoms.
the attraction between protons and neutrons.
the attraction between positive metal ions and interlocking electrons.
the attraction between positive metal ions and free delocalised electrons.
Metallic bonding is...
The sharing of electrons
an attraction between oppositely charges ions
an attraction between positive ions and electrons.
Why are metals malleable?
They are shiny
The electrons are held tightly within the lattice structure making it strong
The electrons are delocalized and able to move between the atoms
The electrons are shared between two metal ions and this holds the atoms together
Why do metallic compounds conduct electricity as solids?
core electrons are mobile, allowing electricity to flow through the metal
valence electrons are mobile, allowing electricity to flow through the metal
protons are mobile, allowing electricity to flow through the metal
the metal cations are mobile, allowing electricity to flow through the metal
Metals have...
High meting points because metallic bonds are weak
Low melting points because metallic bonds are weak
High melting points because metallic bonds are strong
All of the above
