Lernen beginnen

Frage		Antworten
What type of bonding is found in metals? Lernen beginnen		Metallic bonding
What is metallic bonding? Lernen beginnen		The strong electrostatic attraction between positive metal ions and delocalised electrons.
Why do metals conduct electricity? Lernen beginnen		Delocalised electrons are free to move and carry charge.
Why do metals have high melting and boiling points? Lernen beginnen		Strong electrostatic forces between ions and delocalised electrons need lots of energy to overcome.
Why are metals malleable? Lernen beginnen		Layers of atoms can slide over each other without breaking the bonding.
What is an alloy? Lernen beginnen		A mixture of two or more elements, usually metals
Why are alloys harder than pure metals? Lernen beginnen		Different-sized atoms disrupt the layers so they cannot slide easily.
What is steel mainly made from? Lernen beginnen		Iron and carbon.
