1
Q
What is metallic bonding?
A
The strong electrostatic attraction between positive metal ions (cations) and delocalised electrons
2
Q
What are the properties of simple covalent molecules?
A
Low melting and boiling points due to weak IMF between molecules
Poor conductors of electricity as all electrons are involved in bonding (no delocalised electrons)
3
Q
What is covalent bonding?
A
The sharing of electrons between elements
4
Q
What are the properties of ionic structures?
A
Conduct electricity when aqueous
High melting and boiling points
