What is Crystal Structures of Metals about?

1) Most metal atoms prefer to bond with oxygen atoms, releasing bonding energy and forming metal oxides. Noble metals like gold are less reactive and prefer bonding only with themselves. 2) When metal atoms bond with each other, they form crystals by stacking themselves in a close-packed arrangement to maximize the number and closeness of bonding partners. This can result in two different crystal structures - hexagonal or cubic - depending on the stacking sequence. 3) Forming crystals allows metal atoms
