    Cards (20)

    • What type of bonding occurs between metal atoms?
      Metallic bonding
    • What characteristic properties arise from metallic bonding?
      Strength, conductivity, and malleability
    • How do metals bond to non-metals?
      Through ionic bonding
    • How do non-metals bond to other non-metals?
      Through covalent bonding
    • What happens to outer shell electrons in metallic bonding?
      They are shared among all atoms
    • What do we call electrons that can move freely in metals?
      Delocalized electrons
    • What type of attraction holds the structure of metals together?
      Electrostatic attraction
    • Why do metals have high melting and boiling points?
      Due to strong metallic bonding
    • Why are metals good conductors of electricity and heat?
      Delocalized electrons carry energy
    • What does malleable mean in relation to metals?
      Can be bent or hammered into shapes
    • How does the regular structure of metals affect their malleability?
      Layers can slide over one another
    • What is an alloy?
      A mixture of two or more elements
    • How are alloys typically made?
      By mixing different metals or a metal and non-metal
    • Why do different sized atoms in alloys make them harder?
      They disrupt the regular structure
    • What is steel primarily made of?
      Iron
    • What percentage of carbon is typically found in steel?
      1 to 2 percent
    • What additional elements can be found in steel for specific properties?
      Chromium, manganese, or vanadium
    • Why is steel used in cars and planes?
      It provides necessary strength
    • What are the key properties of metals due to metallic bonding?
      • High melting and boiling points
      • Good conductors of electricity and heat
      • Malleability
      • Strength due to electrostatic attraction
    • How do alloys differ from pure metals?
      • Alloys contain two or more elements
      • Different sized atoms disrupt regular structure
      • Alloys are generally harder than pure metals
