Metallic Bonding Flashcards
1
Q
What is metallic bonding (SEFABEPIDE)?
A
Strong Electrostatic Forces of Attraction Between Each Positive Ion and the Delocalised Electrons
2
Q
What do metals have?
A
High melting and boiling points
3
Q
Why are metals malleable and ductile?
A
When a force is applied between the layers of positive ions, they can slide over one another without affecting the bonding
4
Q
Why can metals conduct electricity?
A
Charged particles are free to move (delocalised electrons)
