1
Q
What are metallic bonds formed between?
A
Metal atoms.
2
Q
What do metals atoms do with their electrons to form metallic bonds?
A
Donate the outer shell electrons forming a delocalised “sea”.

What is the name for the strong electrostatic attractive force between positive metal ions and the delocalised electron ‘sea’.
A
Metallic bond.

Positive metal ions and negative outer shell electrons.
7
Q
