Metallic bond was defined as a type of chemical bond formed between the positively charged ions (+) and the free-floating electrons (e) in a lattice structure.
It was also mentioned that the structure of a metallic bonds is very different from that of ionic and covalent compounds. In metallic bond the valence electrons of the interacting metal atoms are delocalized
6. C. Johannesson
Can you give some properties of
covalent compound?
• Exist as solid, liquid or gas
• Low melting and boiling point
• Poor conductor of electricity
14. What is Metallic Bond?
• A metallic bond is the type of chemical
bond formed between the positively charged
ions (+) and the free floating electrons (e) in
a lattice structure.
17. How does metallic bond work?
The structure of a
metallic bonds are very
different from that of
ionic and covalent
compounds. In metallic
bond the valence
electrons of the
interacting metal atoms
are delocalized.
22. Why metals are good conductors of
electricity?
What have you notice on the movement
electrons? Can they freely move or not?
23. Metal Conducts Electricity
When an electric field is applied to a
metal, one end of the metal becomes
positive and the other becomes negative.
Since the electrons are free to move, all
the electrons experience a force toward
the positive end. The movement of
electrons is an electric current.
24. Thermal Conductivity
• Metals are good conductors of heat because the
positive metal nuclei are close together and can
easily transfer the heat.
25. Thermal Conductivity
Electrons are able to gain kinetic energy in
hotter areas of the metal and are able to
quickly transfer it to other parts of the metal
lattice because of their freedom of movement.
Heat causes the electrons to move faster and
the ‘bumping’ of these electrons with each
other and the protons transfers the heat.
26. Malleability
• What does malleable means?
• Malleable means they can be molded into
different shapes.
31. Lustrous
• How can you define the word
lustrous or luster?
• Lustrous is defined as metals that
have a shiny appearance. The shiny
appearance of the metals is called
metallic lustre.
32.
33. Melting and Boiling Point
• High Melting and Boiling point due to
strong attraction between positively charged
ions and free floating electrons
34. High Melting Point
The generally high melting points indicate that
metallic bonding is quite strong.
Melting points increase with an increase in the
number of valence electrons to the sea, since there is
a greater attractive force between the cations and the
electrons.
43. What is metallic bond?
It is the type of chemical bond formed
between the positively charged ions (+)
and the free floating electrons (e) in a
lattice structure
45. What can you say on the electrons in
metallic bond?
Delocalized
46. What are the properties of metallic
bond?
• High Conductor of Electricity
• High melting and boiling point
• Good Thermal Conductor
• Malleable
• Ductile
• Lustrous
