    Study Notes

    Metallic Bonds Overview

    • Metallic bonds result from the attraction between positively charged metal ions and their shared valence electrons.
    • The lattice structure formed by positive ions is essential for maintaining these bonds.

    Formation of Metallic Bonds

    • Positive metal ions create a lattice framework held together by bonds with valence electrons.
    • This structure enables flexibility and movement of ions without rupturing the bonds.

    Properties of Metals

    • Metals may exhibit a rigid structure similar to ionic crystals.
    • Freely moving electrons contribute to high electrical conductivity, making metals excellent conductors.

    Alloys

    • Alloys are combinations of metals mixed with one or more other elements.
    • Common examples of alloys include steel, bronze, and brass, which enhance the properties of pure metals.

    Conductivity and Malleability

    • The "sea" of delocalized electrons allows metals to conduct electricity effectively.
    • The mobility of positive ions permits metals to be reshaped (malleable) without breaking their metallic bonds.

    Summary

    • Metallic bonding creates a structure where ions are held together by shared electrons, allowing for conductivity and malleability.
    • The combination of metals into alloys often yields materials with superior qualities compared to pure metals.
