Chemical Bonding and Structure · Chemical Bonding

Ionic and Metallic Bonding

Exploring the electrostatic forces that hold crystal lattices together and the delocalized electron sea model.

Key Questions

  1. 1Why are ionic compounds brittle while metals are malleable?
  2. 2How does the charge density of ions affect the strength of the ionic bond?
  3. 3What evidence suggests that metallic bonding involves a sea of delocalized electrons?
