Question

1. which of the following properties would a substance that has metallic bonding normally have?

i. thermal conductivity
ii. electrical conductivity
iii. malleability
iv. ductility

Explanation:

Metallic bonding involves a sea of delocalized electrons. Thermal conductivity occurs as the delocalized electrons can transfer thermal energy. Electrical conductivity is due to the movement of these delocalized electrons when a potential difference is applied. Malleability (ability to be hammered into sheets) and ductility (ability to be drawn into wires) are possible because the metal ions can slide over each other while still being held together by the electron - sea.

Answer:

All of the properties (I, II, III, IV) are properties of a substance with metallic bonding.
