Is metallic bonding an attraction of positive and negative ions?
Metallic bonding is the attraction between positively charged metal ions and free (negatively charged) electrons.
What metallic bond is the attraction between?
A metal action and the shared electrons that surround it.
What is the metallic bond an attraction between?
A metal action and the shared electrons that surround it.
What force holds electrons and protons in the atom?
Electro-static attraction between a positively charged nucleus and negatively charged electrons.
What is a bond formed by the attraction between positively charged metal ions and the electrons around them?
Metallic Bond .
What bond is formed by the attraction between positively charged metals ions and the electrons around them?
metallic bonds
What is a bond formed by the attraction between positively-charged metal ions and the electrons in the metal?
it is a metallic bond.
What kind of bond does gold have?
Gold has metallic bonds.The electrons of the gold atoms are delocalised to form a sea of electrons. The gold atoms are held together by electrostatic forces of attraction between the negatively charged sea of electrons and the positively charged ions (the nucleus + the electrons that are not delocalised). Gold has high melting and boiling points because a lot of energy is required to overcome this strong electrostatic forces of attraction.
What statement best describes metallic bonding?
electrons are free to move among many atoms
The mutual attraction or repulsion between electrons or protons is attributed?
Electrons and protons attract each other, as electrons are negatively charged and protons are positively charges, and opposites attract.
What kind of atoms form metallic bonds?
A positive metal ion and the electrons surrounding it.
How are metallic bonds and ionic bonds similar and different?
The difference between ionic an metallic bonds is that the in ionic compounds the electrons are transferred and are "localised" to the anions and the cations. Ionic compounds contain a lattice of positive and negative ions which is held together by electrostatic attraction. Metallic bonds are sometimes described as ions in a sea of electrons. The presence of "ions" is sometimes taken as a similarity between ionic solids and metals. (Please remember this is a VERY simple model, and the reality is more complicated) The electrons in the "sea" are highly mobile, delocalised, and able to carry electricity.
