Gold is a shiny, ductile material which is a good conductor of electricity and heat. All of these can be ascribed to its metallic bonds.
What can't be explained so readily is its relative inertness and its color as metals are generally more reactive than gold and the majority are silvery white
What else can I help you with?
Which substance contains particles held together by metalic bonds?
These are metals.
Is a gold ring a good conductor of electricity what kind of bonds does gold have . How do these bonds explain golds properties?
It would be a good conductor. With bonds that explain gold's properties
What does the electron sea model of metallic bonds help you to explain?
Properties of metals as high boiling point, high melting point, malleability, ductility, electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, lustre are explained by the theory of metallic bonds.
What are bonds in metals like?
In metalic substances metal atoms lose some of their outer shell electrons to make them positive ions (also known as cations). These electrons are then free to move around and as they are negatively charged they hold the positive metal ions together, this is sometimes refered to as a "sea of delocalised electrons", it is also the reason why metals conduct electricity (because electrons are free to move in them)
Do metalic elements and non-metalic elements form ionic bonds?
These bonds tend to be ionic. However, all bonds are somewhere between purely ionic and purely covalent.
How does network covalent bonds explain golds properties?
Nothing.
Metalic bonds share electrons?
Yes
What are the three properties of metals that are a result of metallic bonds?
it would have to kill itself
Three general types of bonds formed between atoms?
ionic bonds ,covalent bonds ,metalic bonds
What are three properties of metals that are results of metallic bonds?
electrical conductivity, malleability, & ductility.
Do metalic bonds dissolve in water?
Metallic bonds do not dissolve in water because they are strong bonds formed between metal atoms, while water dissolves compounds through interactions like hydrogen bonding or ion-dipole interactions. Metallic bonds are not broken by water, so metals typically do not dissolve in water.
How are metallic bonds different to covalent bonds?
Metallic bonds are bonds between metals. They consist of valence electrons in delocalized bonds covering the whole crystal. These electrons can move freely and are responsible for the special properties of metals such as electrical conductivity. Covalent bonds are electrons being shared and are usually between non-metals. They are localized to the atoms which are sharing them, resulting in individual molecules.
