Metallic Bonding Flashcards
1
Q
Name three properties of metals
A
High BP + MP
Good conductors of electricity and heat
Malleable and ductile
2
Q
Explain high mp and bp
A
Many strong metallic bonds in giant metallic structures
Large amount of heat energy are needed to overcome forces and break bonds
3
Q
Explain good conductors of electricity and heat
A
Free electrons available to move and carry charge
4
Q
Explain malleable and ductile
A
Layers of positive ions can easily slider over one another
Metallic bonds are strong but flexible
Hammered into different shapes without breaking
