Metallic Bonding Quiz

What is the main reason why solid metals are able to conduct electricity?

• They have a high melting point

• They have a crystalline lattice structure

• The valence electrons are delocalized

• The metal cations are closely packed

What is the force that holds the structure of metallic bonding together?

• Ionic force

• Covalent force

• Electrostatic force

• Van der Waals force

What is the role of the valence electrons in metallic bonding?

• They are delocalized and can move through the lattice

• They form covalent bonds with other atoms

• They repel the metal cations

• They are bound to one atom

What is the effect of the delocalized valence electrons on the metallic lattice?

• They weaken the metallic bond

• They strengthen the metallic bond

• They have no effect on the lattice

• They cause the lattice to break apart

What does the high melting point of most metals indicate?

• The strength of the metallic bond

• The presence of ionic bonds

• The weakness of the metallic bond

• The presence of covalent bonds
