Metallic Bonding

Question 1

• Why are most metals malleable?

Answer 1

• Most metals are Malleable because they contain layers of ions that slide over one another.

Question 2

• What do these metals form?

Answer 2

• These metals form giant structures in which the electrons in the outer shell are free to move.

Question 3

• What are some properties of metals?

Answer 3

• Most metals are good conductors of heat and electricity.

Question 4

• Does the number of outer shell electrons affect the melting and boiling points?

Answer 4

• The higher the number of electrons in the outer shell the higher the melting and boiling points.
