7.3 Bonding in Metals

• Metallic bonds


  Valence e- can move from one part of the metal to another. These e- have an attractive force to the metal cation, forming bonds that hold the metal together
• Groups that conduct as a solid

  • Metals
• Metallic properties

  • Hot potato
  • Valence e- are freely mobile
  • Metallic bonds-what holds metal together
  • Se of electrons
  • Metal
  • Strong
  • Ductile-drawn into wire
  • Malleable-hammered into sheets
  • Conducts as a solid
  • Conducts electricity
  • Only liquid metal conducts electricity
