Represent a metallic lattice by a 2-D diagram
Atoms of metals are _________ packed together in a giant ________ similar to the lattice in ionic compounds. The outer
__________ separate from their atoms and become ____________, creating a ______ ___ ___________. The atoms become
_________ ions and are attracted to these electrons. This _______________ force of attraction results in __________
bonding and is the reason why the positive metal ions do not ________ each other.
Property Reason
High MP and BP
Conduct electricity
Metallic Bonding- The attraction between the positive ions and Lattice – is a repeated arrangement of particles
delocalized electrons that keeps the ions together. (atoms or ions)
Explain typical properties of metallic bonding including electrical conductivity and malleability
High MP and BP Strong electrostatic force of attraction between positive metal nuclei and free electrons
results in forming many strong metallic bonds in a lattice requiring lot of energy to break
them.
Conduct electricity Delocalised electrons are free to move and transfer electrical charge through the metal
Ductile & Malleable Metallic lattice is a layered structure and metallic ions can slide over each other without
breaking the metallic bond, so can hammered into sheets and drawn into wires.

Check point: Metallic Bonding Questions
1. Metals are giant structures [1], with atoms arranged in a regular pattern [1].
2. Electrons that are not attached to a particular atom or part of a bond [1] and are
free to move through the whole structure [1].
3. Electrostatic forces of attraction hold the particles together [1]. They exist
because there are delocalised negative electrons [1] and positive metal ions [1].
