    • metal properties
      • giant structures of atoms arranged in a regular pattern
      • delocalised electrons
      • strong metallic bonds
    • delocalised
      free moving
    • metal structure
      sea of delocalised electrons
    • features
      • high melting and boiling points
      • conduct heat and electricity (because of delocalised electrons)
      • layers of metal atoms are able to slide over eachother (malleable)
