A

Insoluble (but some react)

40
Q

What is solubility in water like in simple molecular structures?

47
Q

Why do metals have good electrical conductivity?

A

Delocalised electrons can move freely

48
Q

Why are metals ductile?

A

The free movement of delocalised electrons allows atoms on layers to slide past each other
