    The document summarizes metallic bonding and the properties of metals. It describes metals as having a lattice of positive metal ions held together by a "sea of electrons" which are delocalized. This metallic bonding structure explains why metals are good conductors of electricity due to the mobility of electrons, and why metals are malleable and ductile due to the ability of metal atoms to slide over one another in the lattice.

    Metallic Bonding


    Objectives

     *describe metals as a lattice of positive ions in a ‘sea
    of electrons’
     *relate the malleability of metals to their structure
    and the electrical conductivity of metals to the
    mobility of the electrons in the structure
    Metallic Bonding

     The arrangement of metal atoms are described by
    electron sea model.
     It demonstrates that, the metal positive ions are held
    together by a sea of electrons.

    Labelling is a must!!!

    Delocalised Positive
    electrons metal ions
    Metallic Bonding

     Draw the metallic structure of Aluminium metal
    Physical properties of
    Metals

    Good conductors of electricity:
     The electrons lost by metal atoms are delocalised and free
    to move.
     Therefore they carry charge to conducts electricity
    Malleability and ductility
     The ability of metal atoms to slide over each other without
    breaking.
     Malleable: able to press into sheets
     Ductile: can be pulled or drawn into wires
    High melting point and boiling point
     The electrostatic force between metal cations and sea of
    electrons is very strong (stronger in transition metals)
