Q
Properties of Metals
A
- good conductors of electricity
- good conductors of heat
- malleable
- ductile
- high melting point
- solid at room temperature
1
Q
Isotopes
A
Atoms which have the same number of protons but not neutrons
2
Q
Metallic bonding
A
positive ions surrounded by delocalised electrons
- has a lattice
- electrostatic attractions
3
Q
Malleable and ductibility
A
- can apply force to the solid
- shape will hold as positive ions will slip
- the electrostatic forces and attractions are still present and will hold the new shape
4
Q
Alloys
A
- mixtures of metals
- creates new properties
5
Q
Ions
A
- electrically charged species formed when atoms gain or lose electrons
6
Q
cation
A
- positive, loses an electron
7
Q
anions
A
- negative
- gains
