Which of these is not a characteristic of metals attributed to the bonding and arrangement of atoms?

• brittleness

• ductility

• malleability

• electrical conductivity

Which of the following describes metallic bonding?

• A bond between atoms where electrons are unequally shared.

• A bond between positive ions and surrounding mobile electrons

• A bond between atoms where electron pairs are shared equally

• A bond between positive ions and negative ions

What characteristic of metallic bonds allows metals to be malleable and ductile?

• The tightly held valence electrons in metallic bonds allow the atoms in a metal to move freely.

• The strong connection between atoms in metallic bonds allow the bonds to bend without breaking.

• The sea of free electrons in metallic bonds allow the atoms to move when stressed without changing the properties of the substance.

• The crystal structure of atoms in metallic bonds allows the metal to maintain a constant pattern when force is applied.
