Metallic Bonding Flashcards
1
Q
- Why are most metals malleable?
A
- Most metals are Malleable because they contain layers of ions that slide over one another.
2
Q
- What do these metals form?
A
- These metals form giant structures in which the electrons in the outer shell are free to move.
3
Q
- What are some properties of metals?
A
- Most metals are good conductors of heat and electricity.
4
Q
- Does the number of outer shell electrons affect the melting and boiling points?
A
- The higher the number of electrons in the outer shell the higher the melting and boiling points.
