Metallic Bonding

• Metallic Bonding


  Bonding in metals where valence electrons are delocalized
• Metals have a lattice structure held together by metallic bonding
• When electrons are delocalized in metals


  It allows them to conduct electricity and heat
• Metals are malleable and ductile
• I saw a metal on the bus once- he was the conductor...: 'Joke about metals conducting electricity'
• Ionic compounds are typically soft and brittle
• Covalent compounds do not conduct electricity
• Metals are good conductors of electricity and heat
