Multiple Choice

There are more metals than non metals in the periodic table.

• True
• False

Multiple Choice

What is the ability of a substance to allow heat, sound, or electricity to flow through it?

• Malleability
• Ductility
• Solubility
• Conductivity

Multiple Choice

At room temperature, most metals are

• liquid
• solid
• gas
• an alloy

Multiple Choice

Metals are hard because metals have a

• sea of electrons that tightly hold the nuclei together

• they form triple bonds

• low melting point

• high luster

Multiple Choice

Alloys are important because

• their properties are often superior to the component elements

• their properties are a blend of the component elements

• they never corrode

• they are less expensive than their component elements.

Multiple Choice

In metallic bonds electrons are:

• shared

• move around the nuclei randomly

• transferred

Multiple Choice

Why does copper wire conduct electricity when a potential difference is applied?

• The crystal lattice breaks down

• Copper (II) ions move to the cathode

• The atoms of copper become ionised

• Bonding electrons in the crystal lattice move

Multiple Choice

Why are metals malleable?

• The metal ions can easily slide past one another

• The metal ions cannot easily slide past one another

• The metal ions repel one another

• The metal ions attract one another

Multiple Choice

What does malleable mean?

• Breaks easily

• Always stays in the same shape

• Can be drawn into wires

• Can be forced into a certain shape without breaking

Multiple Choice

Metals conduct electricity because

• the metal ions are free to travel

• their electrons are free to travel

• the bonds between metal atoms can easily be broken

• of witchcraft

Multiple Choice

The structure of metals includes

• metal atoms sharing electrons

• metal ions bonded to non-metal ions

• cations surrounded by free-floating electrons

• metal atoms giving electrons to other metal atomes

Multiple Choice

Which of the following would be held together by the metallic bond?

• Atoms of iron (Fe)

• Molecules of CH₄

• Atoms of sulfur (S)

• Units of NaCl
