Chemistry Metallic Bonding

 


Metal atoms are held together strongly by metallic bonding in a giant metallic lattice


Within the metallic lattice, the atoms lose the electrons from their outer shell and become positively charged ions


The outer electrons no longer belong to a particular metal atom and are said to be delocalised


They move freely between the positive metal ions like a 'sea of electrons'


Metallic bonds are strong and are a result of the electrostatic attraction between the positive metal ions and the negatively charged delocalised electrons
