Questions and Answers

What makes metallic compounds strong?

  • The low melting points and malleability of metals
  • The sea of electrons that hold the atoms together (correct)
  • The arrangement of atoms in a cubic structure
  • The presence of ionic bonds between metal atoms
  • How do the size of metal atoms affect the strength of metallic bonds?

  • Larger atoms create stronger bonds due to increased size
  • Size does not affect the strength of metallic bonds
  • Smaller atoms can pack together more tightly, leading to stronger bonds (correct)
  • Only the shape of the atom influences bond strength
  • Which of the following properties is not characteristic of metals?

  • Low thermal conductivity (correct)
  • High melting points
  • High electrical conductivity
  • Malleable and ductile

    Study Notes

    Atomic Radius

    • Decreases across a period (→): More protons pull electrons closer to the nucleus.
    • Increases down a group (↓): More electron shells are added, increasing size.

    Ionic Radius

    • Cations (positive ions): Smaller than their parent atoms. Losing electrons reduces electron-electron repulsion.
    • Anions (negative ions): Larger than their parent atoms. Gaining electrons increases repulsion, expanding the ion.
    • Decreases across a period (→) for ions of the same charge: Higher nuclear charge pulls electrons closer.
    • Increases down a group (↓): More electron shells increase size.

    Ionization Energy (IE)

    • Increases across a period (→): Electrons are held more tightly due to higher nuclear charge.
    • Decreases down a group (↓): Electrons are farther from the nucleus and easier to remove.

    Electronegativity

    • Increases across a period (→) Atoms want to complete their octet (non-metals attract electrons strongly).
    • Decreases down a group (↓): Larger atoms have weaker attraction for bonding electrons.

    Quantum Numbers

    • The energy level or shell of an electron. How far the electron is from the nucleus
    • Each energy level (n) can hold 2n² electrons.
    • Energy level (n): Subshells: Number of orbitals: Max electrons.
      • n=1: s: 1: 2
      • n=2: s,p: 1+3=4: 8
      • n=3: s,p,d: 1+3+5=9: 18
      • n=4: s,p,d,f: 1+3+5+7=16: 32
