metallic bonds Flashcards
1
Q
what structure does metallic bonds have
A
positive lattice structure
2
Q
high or low melting and boiling points
A
high
3
Q
why does metallic bonding have high melting and boiling points
A
positive lattice structure
more energy is needed to overcome the strong electrostatic forces of attraction
4
Q
why can metallic bonds conduct electricity
A
delocalised electrons that can move around, carry charge, conduct electricity
5
Q
