Metallic compounds typically do not have distinct molecules like covalent compounds do. Instead, they consist of metal atoms arranged in a lattice structure, where electrons are delocalized and shared among many atoms, forming a "sea of electrons." This structure provides metallic properties such as conductivity and malleability. Therefore, while metallic compounds are composed of atoms, they do not form individual molecules.

What are the 7 types of compounds?
Ionic compounds Covalent compounds Metallic compounds Molecular compounds Acidic compounds Basic compounds Organic compounds
Atoms and molecules of different elements can do what to form molecules of compounds?
(Two or more than two ) Atoms or molecules of different elements combine to form compounds, like: Hydrogen(atom) and Chlorine combine to form HCL (an acid) Hydrogen(molecule) and oxygen combine to fom H2O (water)
Do all compounds have chemical formulas?
Yes, all compounds are molecules, but not all molecules are compounds
Do polar compounds have stronger or weaker attractions between molecules?
Polar compounds have stronger attractions between molecules.
Why alloys are mixtures but not compounds?
Elements in alloys are bonded by metallic bonding.
What are the four ways elements bond in order to make compounds or molecules?
Ionic Covalent Hydrogen? Metallic thats the main 4
Are covalent molecular compounds ductile?
No, covalent molecular compounds are typically not ductile because they are made up of individual molecules held together by covalent bonds. These compounds have a molecular structure that does not allow for the same type of malleability or flexibility as metallic or ionic compounds.
Is phosphate metallic or non metallic?
Phosphates are chemical compounds.
Metal compounds made of two or more metallic elements are known as?
Metal compounds made of two or more metallic elements are usually called ALLOYS. However, there are true compounds and these are often known simply as inter-metallic compounds.
