    Metallic bonding occurs between positive metal ions and delocalized electrons, forming a rigid structure. Metals exhibit properties including high melting points, electrical conductivity, malleability, and solubility. Metallic bonding allows for heat and electricity conduction through free electron movement.

    Metallic Bonding

    Metallic Bonds Properties


    e- are delocalized among metal
    Bond Formation atoms

    Occurs Between 2 Metals

    Type of Structure “Electron Sea”

    Physical State Solid

    Melting Point Very High

    Soluble in Water No

    Electrical Conductivity Yes

    Other Properties Malleable, Ductile, Lustrous


    Electron Sea

     The body of delocalized electrons that


    surrounds positive metal ions in metallic
    bonds.
    Type of Structure

    “Electron Sea”
    Conduction of Heat

    Electrons are able to gain kinetic energy in hotter


    areas of the metal and are able to quickly transfer
    it to other parts of the metal lattice because of
    their freedom of movement. Heat causes the
    electrons to move faster and the ‘bumping’ of
    these electrons with each other and the protons
    transfers the heat.
    Conducts Electricity

    When an electric field is applied to a metal, one


    end of the metal becomes positive and the other
    becomes negative. Since the electrons are free to
    move, all the electrons experience a force toward
    the positive end. The movement of electrons is an
    electric current.
    Malleable and Ductile
    Malleable and Ductile

    Metals are malleable and ductile, rather than


    brittle, as a result of the non-directional nature of
    metallic bonds. The attractive forces exerted by
    the positive metal ions for the mobile electrons
    occur in all directions. This means that layers of
    atoms can move past one another without
    disrupting the force between the positive ions and
    the negative sea of electrons.

    High Melting Point

    The generally high melting points indicate that


    metallic bonding is quite strong.
    Melting points increase with an increase in the
    number of valence electrons to the sea, since
    there is a greater attractive force between the
    cations and the electrons.

    Cations are ions that are positively charged. Anions are ions that
    are negatively charged. Ions are charged atoms or molecules. If a
    balanced atom loses one or more electrons, it will become a positively
    charged cation.
    High Density

    Most metals have relatively high densities


    because metallic lattices are close-packed.
    Structure of Metals

    • Electrostatic forces of attraction between the


    positively charged cations and the negatively
    charged electrons hold the lattice together.
    • A metal is therefore a seen as a rigid
    framework of cations immersed in a ‘sea’ of
    electrons that serve as the cement holding the
    three-dimensional cationic network together –
    Metallic bonding.
     A lattice is an ordered array of points
    describing the arrangement of particles
    that form a crystal.
     Electrostatics is the study of forces
    between charges, as described by
    Coulomb's Law. We develop the concept of
    an electric field surrounding charges. We
    work through examples of the electric field
    near a line, and near a plane, and develop
    formal definitions of both *electric potential*
    and *voltage*.
