Compare metallic and ionic bonding?
Metallic bonding involves the bonding of two metals in the presence of a sea of electrons. These delocalised (or free-floating) electrons are able to flow freely through the metal which means an electrical current can form. Ionic bonding is when a metal and a non-metal transfer electrons between each other (creating two ions - one positive and one negative) until they both have a complete outer shell of electrons (a stable oclet). These ions are attracted to one another (since they are of opposite charge) and bond. There are no delocalised electrons, and the ions cannot move either so a current cannot form in a compound that is ionically bonded.
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.
Metals are good conductors of electricity. how does metallic bonding make this possible?
Electrons in a metallic bond are delocalised (free to move), thus can pass heat energy through the metal. Electrons also possess greater kinetic energy, and therefore able to transfer energy faster. answered by a Chem student
What kind of bond allows metals to be flattened and shaped?
A metallic bond is what allows metals to be flatten. Metallic bond also allows medal to be shaped.
How many additional electrons is an oxygen atom able to attract?
oxygen is able to attract 2 electrons
What is the difference between electrons in a metallic or ionic bond?
In an ionic bond all of the electrons are localised to the ions, none are shared or free to move. In a metallic bond electrons are free and able to move about the lattice in the solid or the melt.
Which of the following properties can be attributed to the fact that the electrons are delocalized and are able to move freely in metallic crystals?
good conductivity

What would it be like in a tornado?
floating around in the wind not able to breath
What is the Predominant type of bonding for titanium?
There are several possible bonds. Large differences in electro negativity favor ionic bonding, formed by transfer of valence electrons between two different atoms. The covalent bonds are formed by sharing of electrons, rather than transferring them. The metallic bond, the electrons are delocalized, essentially they are able to move essentially free throughout the structure. The bonding occurs by electrostatic attraction between the electrons and the positive metal ions. :)
Would people be able to survive if there were no gravity?
Probably not. Technically, if we were floating, we wouldn't be able to move around.
What would happen if there were no gravity?
we would not be stable. we would not be able to stand up on the ground instead we would be floating
Which part of metallic bonding theory helps the most to explain why metals are able to conduct electricity?
Electrons can move freely among all the atoms of the metal.
Why metals are conduct of electricity?
In metals, METALLIC BONDS are present, the outer electrons of the metal atoms are nearly free and are able to move from atom to atom. And as electricity is nothing but movements of electrons, metals are good conductors of electricity.

Difference between metallic and electrolytic conduction?
Metallic conductance involves the movement of electrons throughout a metal. There are many metal atoms in a sheet of metal such as copper. The outer electrons of these atoms become delocalized (not fixed in one place). They are therefore able to move about the metallic sheet and so conduct electricity. Electrolytic conduction involves the movement of ions (charged species formed when an atom loses or gains electrons) throughout a pure liquid (for example molten NaCl) or solution such as NaCl and water. Main difference - one invloves the movement of electrons and the other involves the movement of ions.
How would your weight change if your floating freely in space?
you would be weight "less" as in 0 you wouldn't be able to get on to e.g scales sorry?
