Metalic Bonding Flashcards
1
Q
Lattice structure
A
Regular repeating pattern
2
Q
What electrostatic forces does metalic bonding have
A
Strong electrostatic force of attraction between positive metal ions and negative delocalised electrons
3
Q
What can layers of positive ions do
A
They can slide over each other
4
Q
Group 2 metal electrons
A
Has twice as many delocalised electrons as group 1 so is a better electrical conductor
5
Q
Group 2 metal melting point
A
High melting point because group 2 metals habe more electrostatic forces of attraction between the positive metal ions and negative delocalised electrons
