1- proton
1 proton
very small (0-virtually no mass)
Proton- +1
Neutron- 0
Electron- -1
Metallic bonding
Strong (hard to break), but can be bent or hammered into different shapes (malleable)
Great conductors of heat and electricity
shiny
High boiling and melting points
Different properties to metals
dull
Aren’t always solid at room temperature
Brittle
Lower density
Reaction with Oxygen produces a metal oxide
Reaction with Chlorine produces salt
Reaction with water produces hydrogen gas (violent reaction) metal hydroxide
As you go down:
Reactivity increases outer electron is more easily lost as it is further away from the nucleus of the atom meaning the electrons attraction to the nucleus is less strong
Lower melting and boiling points
higher relative atomic mass soft grey metals
Covalent bonding
As you go down:
become LESS REACTIVE- it’s harder to gain an extra electron, because the outer shell’s further from the nucleus
Higher melting and boiling points
higher atomic masses
Ions are called halides
Displacement reactions
Diatomic
Full outer shell makes them non reactive
All colourless gases at room temperature
Non flammable
Boiling points increases as you move down the table (due to greater intermolecular forces between them)
