Metallic Properties

Question 1

Cation

Answer 1

Ion with a positive charge

Question 2

Malleable

Answer 2

Ductile, layers of cations can be moved as they’re attracted to the electrons

Question 3

Ductile

Answer 3

Malleable, layers of cations can be moved as they’re attracted to the electrons

Question 4

Lustrous

Answer 4

Shiny, light is reflected

Question 5

High density

Answer 5

Really dense and compacted

Question 6

Metallic bonding model

Answer 6

The cations are all connected due to the freely flowing valence electrons between them

Question 7

Electro negativity

Answer 7

The ability to lose outer shell electrons

Question 8

Electrostatic attraction

Answer 8

The bond between positively charged cations and negatively charged electrons

Question 9

High tensile strength

Answer 9

Maximum amount of stress something can withstand

Question 10

Delocalised electrons

Answer 10

The electrons that flow freely through the cations

Question 11

Alloy

Answer 11

Mix of metals

Question 12

Substitutional alloy

Answer 12

When other metals replace some cations of the original metal

Question 13

Interstitial alloy

Answer 13

Fit other metals inbetween the cations
