Metallic Bonding

IGCSE Edexcel (9-1) Chemistry

QuestionAnswer
What are delocalised electrons? Delocalised Electrons are electrons which are free to move throuh out the whole structure.
What is metallic Bonding? Metallic Bonding is the electrostatic forces of attraction between each positive ion and delocalised electrons
What does a metallic structure consist of? A lattice of positive ions surrrounded by a sea of delocalised electrons
Metals have Individual Molecules: True or False False
Why do most metals have high melting and boiling points. Because of the strong electrostatic forces of attraction between each positive ion and delocalised electrons. Large amounts of energy is required to break them
Why is the bonding in Magnesium Stronger than the bonding in Sodium Magnesium has 2 electrons in its outer shell which are delocalised into the sea leaving behind ions with a 2+ charge. The electrostatic forces of attraction between 2+ ions and delocalised electrons are stronger than sodium. So magnesium has stronger...
Why can Metals conduct electricity ? Because the delocalised electrons are free to move throughout the Structure.
Why are metals malleable and ductile? Because when a force is applied to a peice of metal, The layers of positive ions slide over each other.
