Metals conduct electricity and electric current. Electric current is possible when charged particles are free to move. A metallic bond is the bond between a positive metal and the atoms in metal (metal atoms combined in regular patterns in which valence electrons are free to move from atom to atom).

What are the 3 metallic properties?

They are lustrous and malleable They conduct heat They conduct electric current


Why and how do metallic compounds conduct electricity?

Metallic compounds conduct electricity because they have delocalized electrons that are free to move throughout the structure. When a voltage is applied, these electrons can flow easily and carry the electric current. This is due to the metallic bonding in which metal atoms share their electrons in a "sea of electrons."


Does lead slow down electric currents?

Not to any perceivable level. Lead will conduct an electrical current, as will any metallic object.


Why does conduct of electricity require a cord?

Electric current is the movement of electrons. Various materials can conduct current, but the best materials are metals, because they have plenty of electrons which can move freely. Electric appliances, therefore, are provided with cords which contain metallic strands (usually copper) which carry the current.


Does SCl2 conduct electricity?

no because its a covalent compound, it undergoes covalent bonding. if it was a metallic or ionic then it would conduct when molten or in aqueous state. the only element that undergoes a covalent bonding and conducts electricity is graphite, no other element or allotrope conducts.


How the structure of aluminium affect its properties?

well because of the free electrons in the structure of aluminium it is able to allow the passage of electron from electric current due to disassociated electrons in its structure basically because of the metallic bonding and the free electrons present it can conduct electricity and heat.


Does halite conduct electricity?

halite is a good insulator for electric current..


Which part of metallic bonding theory helps the most to explain why metals are able to conduct electricity?

The free electron model of metallic bonding helps to explain why metals can conduct electricity. In this model, metallic atoms are packed closely together, and some of their outer electrons are delocalized and free to move throughout the metal, allowing them to carry electrical current.


How Does the metallic bond allow metals to conduct electricity?

In a metallic bond, electrons are free to move throughout the metal lattice. When a voltage is applied, these delocalized electrons can easily move and carry electric current. This allows metals to conduct electricity efficiently.
