What metallic bonding is

What metallic bonding is

2-D metallic lattice showing positive metal ions, delocalised electrons, electron flow in a solid metal, and sliding layers under force A metal is not made of separate molecules. It is a giant metallic lattice, which is a regular repeating arrangement of positive metal ions surrounded by delocalised electrons.

Step-by-step lessons covering Edexcel IGCSE Chemistry Metallic bonding for IGCSE Chemistry. Each lesson works through exam-style questions in Paper 1 and Paper 2 format. Build a solid grasp of atomic structure, bonding and the mole concept early, since these underpin almost every other topic, then move on to the more calculation-heavy quantitative and organic chemistry content.
