#1
Front (Question)
how are atoms arranged in metallic bonding?
Back (Answer)
• when metal atoms join together the outer electrons become ‘delocalised’ which means they are free to move throughout the whole structure • metals have a giant regular arrangement of layers of positive ions surrounded by a sea of delocalised electrons
#2
Front (Question)
what is metallic bonding?
Back (Answer)
the strong electrostatic attraction between positive metal ions and a sea of delocalised electrons
#3
Front (Question)
are metals good conductors?
Back (Answer)
metals are good conductors because they have delocalised electrons which are free to move
#4
Front (Question)
are metals malleable?
Back (Answer)
metals are malleable (can be hammered into shape) because they have layers of ions that can slide over each other
