    3.2.5. Metallic Bonding PDF

    This document discusses metallic bonding and its properties. It describes metallic bonding as a regular lattice of positive metal ions surrounded by a sea of delocalized electrons. This metallic bonding structure allows metals to conduct electricity via the flow of delocalized electrons and be malleable as the metal ion layers can slide past one another without breaking apart.

    Cambridge​ ​IGCSE​ ​Chemistry

    Topic​ ​3:​ ​atoms,​ ​elements​ ​and


    compounds
    Metallic​ ​bonding​ ​(Extended​ ​candidates​ ​only)

    Notes

    www.pmt.education
    (Extended​ ​only)​ ​Describe​ ​metallic​ ​bonding​ ​as​ ​a​ ​lattice​ ​of​ ​positive​ ​ions​ ​in​ ​a
    ‘sea​ ​of​ ​electrons’​ ​and​ ​use​ ​this​ ​to​ ​describe​ ​the​ ​electrical​ ​conductivity​ ​and
    malleability​ ​of​ ​metals

    ● metallic​ ​bonding:​ ​a​ ​regular​ ​lattice​ ​of​ ​+​ ​metal​ ​ions​ ​surrounded​ ​by​ ​a​ ​sea​ ​of
    delocalised​ ​electrons
    ● Metals​ ​consist​ ​of​ ​giant​ ​structures​ ​of​ ​atoms​ ​arranged​ ​in​ ​a​ ​regular​ ​pattern.
    ● The​ ​electrons​ ​in​ ​the​ ​outer​ ​shell​ ​of​ ​metal​ ​atoms​ ​are​ ​delocalised​ ​and​ ​so​ ​are​ ​free​ ​to
    move​ ​through​ ​the​ ​whole​ ​structure.
    ● The​ ​sharing​ ​of​ ​delocalised​ ​electrons​ ​gives​ ​rise​ ​to​ ​strong​ ​metallic​ ​bonds.

    ● electrical​ ​conductivity:​ ​metals​ ​can​ ​conduct​ ​electricity​ ​because​ ​the​ ​sea​ ​of
    delocalised​ ​electrons​ ​is​ ​able​ ​to​ ​move
    ● malleability:​ ​the​ ​regular​ ​arrangement​ ​of​ ​equally​ ​sized​ ​metal​ ​ions​ ​means​ ​that​ ​the
    layers​ ​of​ ​ions​ ​are​ ​able​ ​to​ ​slide​ ​over​ ​each​ ​other​ ​easily,without​ ​the​ ​metal
    shattering,​ ​ ​making​ ​metals​ ​malleable
