What is metallic bonding?
The bonding that happens between metals where the outer shell delocalised electrons and the positive metal ions are held together in a regular structure by electrostatic force.
What are the properties of Mentallic bonds?
Very strong
HIgh melting and boiling point
Solid at room temperature
Good conductors of electricity and heat
malleable
What are alloys?
A mixture of two or more metals or a metal and another element.
Why are alloys harder than pure metals?
When another element is mixed with a pure metal, the new meta atoms will distort the layers of metal atoms, making it difficult for them to slide over each other.
