What happens to the electrons in a metallic bond?
They are transferred from one atom to another.
They are shared between two specific atoms.
They form a sea of electrons that are free to move.
They are localized around individual atoms.
Why do ionic compounds conduct electricity when dissolved in water?
The ions are free to move and carry charge.
The electrons are free to move and carry charge.
The molecules are free to move and carry charge.
The covalent bonds break, allowing charge to flow.
What is the primary reason ionic compounds have high melting points?
Strong covalent bonds
Strong electrostatic forces between ions
Weak van der Waals forces
Presence of free electrons
