metallic bonding

Cards (19)

  • What type of bonding occurs between metal atoms?
    Metallic bonding
  • What characteristic properties arise from metallic bonding?
    Strength, high melting and boiling points
  • 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 are free to move in metals?
    Delocalized electrons
  • What type of attraction holds the structure of metals together?
    Strong 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 it mean for metals to be malleable?
    They 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 the purpose of creating alloys?
    To make harder metals
  • How are alloys typically made?
    By mixing different metals or a metal and non-metal
  • Why do different sized atoms in alloys help their hardness?
    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
