Metals and Alloys

Question 1

pure metals structure

Answer 1

arranged in layers - slide over each other - malleable

Question 2

conductivity of metals

Answer 2

good - delocalised electrons carry charge throughout structure

Question 3

alloy

Answer 3

mixture of metals

Question 4

properties of alloys

Answer 4

atoms are different sizes - distorts regular lattice structure - layers cannot slide - harder than pure
