About this resource

These Knowledge check worksheets provide a series of questions to assess learners’ knowledge and understanding of metallic bonding at the end of a period of teaching or as revision.

They are available at foundation and higher level and as fully-editable versions so you can adapt them to suit learners’ needs. Use for individual student work in class or at home. 

Content includes:

  • delocalised electrons and their charge
  • metal ions and their relative charges
  • how metallic structure is related to the physical properties of metals
  • how the properties of alloys are different from pure metals

Also available to support this topic

  • Johnstone’s triangle worksheets: help learners make connections between the different conceptual levels of thinking about the structure and bonding of metals.
  • In context worksheets: ask learners to apply their knowledge of metallic bonding in the context of electric car manufacture, helping them develop their skills and prepare for examination, including calculation questions to practise mathematical skills within a genuine chemical context from everyday life.
  • Structure strips: support learners to retrieve information on metallic bonding with a structure strip that scaffolds independent writing.
