Properties of metals

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
Physical Properties of Metals   strong, malleable, ductile, sonorous, shiny, good conductors of heat & electricity, high mpts and bpts, high density  
🗑
Why are metals strong?   atomic density=stable and close together  
🗑
Why are metals malleable?   layers of metal atoms can be shifted without breaking metallic bonds  
🗑
Why are metals ductile?   layers of metal atoms can be shifted as well  
🗑
Why are metals sonorous?   delocalized electrons sending waves of kinetic energy, little energy lost  
🗑
Why are metals shiny?   vibrating delocalized electrons contact with light  
🗑
Why are metals good conductors of heat & electricity   delocalized electrons able to carry the energy and the flow of charge  
🗑
Why do metals have mpts and bpts?   strong metallic bonds  
🗑
Why do metals have high density?   strong metallic bonds with ‘sea’ of delocalized electrons, closely packed  
🗑
Chemical Properties of Metals   react with oxygen to form oxides (which are bases) which then form salts and water when reacting with acids & when they react, they form positive ions  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
