Metallic Bonding

What is the basis of a metallic bond?

• the attraction of neutral metal atoms.
• the attraction between protons and neutrons.
• the attraction between positive metal ions and interlocking electrons.
• the attraction between positive metal ions and free floating electrons.

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

• True
• False

At room temperature, most metals are

• liquid
• solid
• gas
• an alloy

What is the ability of a substance to be pulled into a thin strand?

• Malleability
• Ductility 
• Conductivity
• Solubility

Why do metals have high melting points?

• They don't
• The negatively charged electrons act as a glue to hold the positively charged ions together.
• All the electrons become delocalised

• Ductility
• Solubility
• Conductivity

Why are metals malleable?

• They are shiny

• The electrons are held tightly within the lattice structure making it strong

• The electrons are delocalized and able to move between the atoms

• The electrons are shared between two metal ions and this holds the atoms together
