Q

Why is ionic bonding?

A

An electrostatic force of attraction between oppositely charged ions

16
Q

What structure is ionicly bonded compounds in?

A

A ionic lattice

17
Q

What does a metallic structure consist of?

A

A giant lattice of positively charged ions and delocalised electrons

18
Q

How is metallic bonding caused?

A

The electrostatic force of attraction between the positive ions and the negative delocalised electrons

19
Q

Does a metallic bond have a strong or weak bond

A

Strong

20
Q

Does metallic bonding have a low or high boiling and melting points?

A

High

21
Q

Are metallic bonds conductors?

A

Yes

22
Q

Why can metals conduct electricity?

A

They contain free electrons and the electrons are free to move
