Metallic Bonding Flashcards
1
Q
Structure
A
Giant lattice structure of positively charged ions surrounded by delocalised electrons
2
Q
Metallic bonding
A
Attraction between positive metal ions and delocalised electrons
3
Q
High melting point
A
Giant structure
Strong metallic bonding
Lots of energy required to break the bonds
4
Q
Conductor
A
Delocalised electrons are charged and free to move
5
Q
Malleable
A
Layers of metal ions can slide over each other
6
Q
Alloys
A
Solid mixtures of metals with other elements
Not as malleable because other element disturbs the layers
