Meltallic Bonding Flashcards
1
Q
What happens with metallic bonding?
A
happens between metals by delocalising electrons
2
Q
What happens during this process?
A
Electrons in the outer shells are delocalised (free to move)
They are strong forces of electrostatic attraction between the oppositely charged ions.
3
Q
What are its properties?
A
- high melting and boiling points
- conducts electricity when solid or liquid
- insoluble in water
