Chem Q7 Flashcards
1
Q
What is pooling/ metalic bonding?
A
when metals hold their outer e’s loosely and the e’s move freely from atom to atom
2
Q
What does pooling do?
A
holds metal atoms together
3
Q
What are the differances between pooling and covalent bonding?
A
- pooling is shareing of outer e’s between metals while covalent is sharing of outer e’s between nonmetals
- pooling is sharing of outer e’s among ALL metal atoms in an object
4
Q
What is the ratio in which covalent bonds always share?
A
1:1
5
Q
What is the maximum amount of atoms that will share the same e’s?
A
two
6
Q
Why are metals bendable, ductile, and malleable?
A
the pooling allows atoms to slide past each other into new shapes
7
Q
Why metals good conductors of elctricity?
A
the outer e’s are held loosly and this allows them to flow easily towrds a positive charge (electric current)
8
Q
Why arev metals denser than nonmetals?
A
the pooling of outer e’s draws metal atoms closer togther
