Metallic Bonding

Metallic Solids Example: Al (s)
Metallic bonds are formed because valence _____________ are mobile.

Metals have ionic/covalent/metallic bonds between the particles.
______________ electrons in the metals are not confined to each
atom but are shared by all. Therefore, the _______________ ions
(cations) are said to be immersed in a “moving sea” of _______________.
The physical properties of metals are as follows:
1) Because there are free moving __________________________ present, they are good/bad conductors.
2) Because the positive ions can slide over one another, metals are/are not malleable and ductile.
3) They have low/high solubility in water.
4) Since metallic bonds are also strong, they are soft/hard and the atoms have low/high melting and
boiling points.
5) Examine the picture above. Metallic bonds are/are not found in compounds.
Place the 4 types of bonds (ionic, polar covalent, pure covalent, metallic) in order of increasing strength.

Refer to the two diagrams below and explain why metals are malleable and ionic solids are not.
Metals are malleable because the free flowing __________________ act as a lubricant and allow the
__________________ to __________________ over each other.
However, in ionic solids, the __________________ and __________________ are held in
__________________ positions. When a force is applied to the crystal (examine the bottom right diagram),
__________________ charges line up. When similar ions are close to each other, they attract/repel (circle
one) one another, causing the crystal to_____________________.
