Question 2

properties of metals

Answer 2

high melting/boiling points ( strong forces of attraction)
- good conductors of heat and electricity
- malleable, soft

Question 3

describe the bonding in metals?

Answer 3

• metals consist of a giant structure of toms arranged in regular layers
• in a metal the metals in the outer energy level of each atom are delocalised.
  means the outer electrons are free tom move through the whole structure.
• the delocalised electros can carry an electrical charge this is why they conduct electricity
