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 on Edexcel IGCSE Chemistry Metallic bonding. Each one builds up to exam-style questions. 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.
