What is Understanding Metallic Bonding about?
Metallic bonding occurs when metal atoms lose outer electrons to form positive ions that are attracted to a "sea" of delocalized electrons. This electrostatic force between metal ions and delocalized electrons gives metals high melting points, the ability to conduct electricity as electrons can move freely, and makes them malleable and ductile as the layers can slide over each other under pressure.
