About this document
Understanding Metallic Bonding and Alloys by Talpyn Rakhym is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Metallic bonding occurs in pure metals and alloys. Pure metals have a giant crystal structure with positive metal ions in close-packed layers surrounded by delocalized electrons. Alloys are mixtures where different sized atoms distort the layers and affect properties. Both have high melting points due to strong attraction between ions and electrons, and conduct electricity via delocalized electrons.
