Metallic Bonding Flashcards
1
Q
Melting Point
A
- high strong metallic bonding
- more electrons stronger bonds higher mp
- size of metal ions and lattice structure affect mp
2
Q
bonds
A
- none holding specific ions together
- layers of positive metal ions separated by layers of electrons
- malleable and ductile
- layers can slide over each other without disrupting the attraction between positive ions and electrons
3
Q
delocalised electrons
A
- pass kinetic energy
- good thermal conductors
- good electrical conductors as deloc electrons free to move and carry a charge
- insoluble
