What is the "sea of electrons"? 

This describes the way electrons flow throughout metallic compounds. It also explains why metallic compounds are good conductors of heat and electricity.

State Coulombs Law in words: 

Coulomb’s Law says that the force of attraction or repulsion between two charged particles depends on two things:

1. How strong the charges are — bigger charges mean a stronger force.

2. How far apart the charges are — the farther apart they are, the weaker the force.

In simple terms: The closer and more charged the particles are, the stronger the electric force between them.

Name 1 property of Ionic, Covalent, and Metallic compounds. 

Ionic - Form solid crystals, High melting/boiling points, brittle, conduct electricity when dissolved, good insulators in solid state, mostly soluble in water. 

Covalent - Form molecules, typically strong and take a lot of energy to break these bonds, exist in all 3 states of matter, low melting/boiling points, poor conductors, good insulators, form polyatomic ions, 

Metallic - good conductors of heat/electricity, malleable/ductile, high melting/boiling point, many are very chemically reactive, form alloys.
