Name 3 metal properties
shiny, ductile and malleable
1 of 21
Why are metals solid at room temp.?
Solids are arranged in a regular arrangement and have strong attractions
2 of 21
Why are metals good conductors of electricity?
Delocalised electrons, have gained kinetic energy, so it's free for them to move
3 of 21
How are metals malleable?
They are strong and can be hammered into shape. Their electrons can slide over the layers.
4 of 21
Why do metals have high bp and mp?
Because they have a strong electrostatic force of attraction, where the delocalised electrons from the outer shells forms a sea of electrons.
5 of 21
Why are metals strong?
Their layers can slide over easily, they have delocalised electrons are free to move and they a strong attraction
6 of 21
What metal isn't a solid at room temp.?
Mercury
7 of 21
What is metallic bonding?
The attraction between oppositely charged particles
8 of 21
How are alloys different to pure metals?
they have an irregular pattern, can't slide over layers,different metals formed together(distorted)
9 of 21
Are alkali metals reactive?
Yes
10 of 21
What substance is used to stop the alkali metals to react with oxygen and moisture in the air?
oil
11 of 21
What is it called when an alkali reacts with water?
An alkaline solution
12 of 21
What is the reactivity of alkali metals?
It increases
13 of 21
Which alkali metal is the most reactive?
Caesium
14 of 21
What other substance does it form when it reacts with water?
Hydrogen
15 of 21
Which metal form a lilac colour?
Potassium
16 of 21
What group is the halogens in?
Group 7
17 of 21
What is their structure and bonding?
They are covalent bonds and they are diatomic molecules
18 of 21
Name the first three colours of an halogen
Fl: pale colour Cl: pale yellow Br: brown
19 of 21
Which 2 halogens are gases?
Fl + Cl
20 of 21
What is their reactivity trend?
They decrease
