Intermolecular Forces And Metallic Bonding Flashcards
True or false? Metallic elements can’t conduct electricity when solid.
False.
What are metals made of?
Positively charged ions
What happens when you heat metal?
It vibrates.
What happens when you hit metal with a hammer?
Dents and changes form.
Most malleable metal?
Ae
What the only metal that’s liquid at room temperature?
Mercury
How can metallic bonding occur?
Positively charged ions are surrounded by a sea of delocalised electrons.
There’s a strong force of attraction between positive nuclei and delocalised electrons.
Scale of strength of types of bonding?
Metallic bonding force is weaker than covalent and ionic bonding force.
Properties of metal?
Conduct electricity
Conduct heat
Ductile
Malleable
What is an electric current?
Flow of charged particles.
Why can electronic conductivity occur?
Metals charged particles which are delocalised Valence electrons are free to move through the 3d lattice of metal ions.
True or false? Connecting a battery across a piece of metal causes electrons to move.
True.
What are the features for how electrons flow?
(-) terminal of a battery = (-) potential = surplus of electrons. (Electrons are negatively charged so move away from (-) potential to a positive potential).
(+) Terminal of a battery = (+) potential = surplus defeciet of electrons.
Electron flow is (-) > (+) terminal (as they are attracted to + charge).
What is thermal conductivity?
Measures substances heat flow when one part of substance is maintained at high temperature.
True or false? As metals temperature increases so does electrons kinetic energy and so does metal ions vibrational energy.
True!
