2
Q

3
Q
How does the conductivity of metals link to the structure of metals?
A
The metal’s delocalised electrons can move and carry charge.
4
Q
How does the melting point of metals link to the structure of metals?
A
High temperatures are required to break the strong metallic bonds so most of the time they have a high melting point!
