Chem Metallic Bonding Flashcards
How does Metallic Bonding form
Electro Static force of attraction between the positively charged metal cations and the sea of de-localized valence electrons
name 3 properties of metals
hard, Malleable, Conductors pf elec, high melting/boling points, high density, insoluble in water
why metals conduct
sea od DLVE-= free moving and can therefore carry a charge from an electric current.
why metals hard
strong force of attraction due to ES force bw cations and sea of dlve-
why metals malleable
shifting of layers dosent cause like charges to meet as the sea of dlve- move around to maintain a connection and therefore their is no break in attraction and therefore they dent instead of crack
why high melting+ boiling in metals
ES force of attraction= very strong
What are Alloys
mix of 2-3 metals which make the substance stronger or harder
example of an alloy
Stainless Steel etc.
