What type of structure do metals form?
A giant structure containing a very large number of metal atoms.
Delocalised electrons are shared across the whole structure, rather than between one pair of atoms.
The outer-shell electrons become delocalised when metal atoms pack together.
Losing outer electrons leaves each atom as a positive metal ion.
