Type Of Solid - Metallic Flashcards
Metal and Metal form?
Metallic solid
What particles are metallic
Metallic solid have ATOM PARTICLES
Structure of metal and the attractive force
Metallic solid have atoms that are held together in a 3D lattice by STRONG metallic bonds
Metallic bonds - talk about the valence electrons
Loosely held valence electrons are attracted to neighbouring electrons / held by non-directional forces of cations in a sea of delocalised electrons
State the movement of electrons in metallic solid and liquid state
Non-directional= The valence electrons move past each other and change shape WITHOUT disrupting the the bonding so metal can be stretched
Conductivity of metals
Because of the sea of delocalised electrons, the metal containing free moving particles are able to conduct electricity
Metals aren’t soluable in water because…
Metallic bonds too strong to broken by the attraction to the water molecules
