Task 3 Metallic Bonding Video

Watch the following video and answer these questions:

In metallic bonding, the electrons are delocalised around the protons. What does this mean?

How do the delocalised electrons explain the properties of metals (good conductors of heat and electricity, ductile, malleable)

Task 4 - Science Year 10 text

To complete your understanding, read Chapter 4.3 "Bonding" of the Year 10 text (p 120 - 127). This includes an introduction to covalent bonding, your next topic to cover. Read the text and complete question 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, 10, 13, 15, 17, 18, 19, 21, 22. Now complete the Model building activity on Page 128 of the text book.

Displaying the properties of metals

Choose on of three categories: metals, non-metals and metalloids.

As a team, you will need to demonstrate the properties of materials in your category using scientific terminology using an 'ILLUSTRATED WORD'. This should be high quality work as it will be put on display!

Examples:

 

Example - oil
