Metals

• Metallic Bonding is:

  • Electrostatic force of attraction between positively charged ions, and delocalised electrons
• Metallic element can conduct electricity as they:

  • Contains delocalised electrons
• Metal Reactivity:

  • Most reactive metals react with water
  • Moderately reactive metals react with acid
  • Least reactive metals react with oxygen
• Displacement Reactions:

  • Occurs when a metal reacts with a metal less reactive than it
