The positive ions tend to _____________ electrons.
lose
gain
The negative ions tend to _____________ electrons.
lose
gain
Valence electrons are found
in the innermost energy level of an atom
in the middle energy levels of an atom
in the outermost energy levels of an atom
Why do all bonds form?
so the number of protons equals the number of electrons
so an atom can become unstable
to fill the outermost energy level
Cations
Gain electrons, has an overall positive charge
Lose electrons, has an overall positive charge
Lose electrons, has an overall negative charge
Gain electrons, has an overall negative charge
Anions
Gain electrons, has an overall positive charge
Lose electrons, has an overall positive charge
Lose electrons, has an overall negative charge
Gain electrons, has an overall negative charge
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 moving electrons.
Electrons that are free to move in metals are called (a) electrons
Why do metals conduct electricity?
They are shiny
The electrons are delocalised and able to move
The electrons are held tightly within the lattice

low melting point
luster (shininess)
malleability
ductility
