What is it called when metal can be drawn into wire?

• malleability

• ductility

What is it called when metal can be hammered or bent into shapes.

• malleability

• ductility

The ability to conduct electricity in the solid state is a characteristic of metallic bonding. The characteristic is best described by the presence of:

• High ionization energies

• High electronegativity

• Mobile Electrons

• Mobile Protons

Metallic bonding is the strong attraction between positive metal ions and the sea of delocalized electrons.

• True

• False

Which of the following best describes metallic bonding?

• Some metal atoms gain electrons while others lose electrons, resulting in the formation of positive and negative charges

• The valence electrons between the metals become delocalized and can move freely between the metallic cations

• The metal ions form permanent bonds in which they are sharing their valence electrons to obey the octet rule

• The metal atoms use their positive charges to gain additional electrons until every atom has eight valence electrons

Answer explanation

No- metals do NOT gain electrons

delocalized!- YES

No- Metals don't share electrons

Cations are...

• positive

• negative

Metals are excellent conductors of thermal energy

• True

• False

Metals are poor conductors of electricity

• True

• False
