Question

Which of the following statements about metallic bonds is false

A.The resulting compound has low and melting and boiling points.
B. the resulting compound has a shiny surface
C. the resulting compound is a good conductor or electricity
D. the resulting compound cannot be dissolved in water.
- Its A! they have high melting/boiling points.

Answer 1

Metallic bonds do have shiny surfaces (hence, the name metallic).

Metallic bonds are good conductors of electricity.

Metallic bonds cannot be dissolved in water.

The correct answer is option A.

-the resulting compound has low melting and boiling points

Answer 2

The resulting compound has low and melting and boiling points.

Step-by-step explanation:

Metallic bond: It is the type of bond (chemical) that hold the atoms of metal together, it forms when the electrostatic attractive force present between conduction electron and fixed positive charge metal atoms. So, metal atoms have high melting and boiling point. This means that they take lot of energy to overcome these Forces (electrostatic) during melting and boiling time.

It also describes as the sharing of free electrons between the structure of positively charged ions.
