What structure do most metals have?
Their outer electrons become delocalised and can move throughout the structure.
Distorted layers cannot slide over one another easily when a force is applied.
The structure contains positive metal ions surrounded by delocalised electrons.
Most metals have a giant metallic structure: a regular arrangement of many atoms.
