what structure does metallic bonding take
a lattice
describe metallic bonded structures
a lattice of positively charged ions surrounded by a sea of delocalised electrons
what forces do metallic bonds have
strong electrostatic forces
what are the electrostatic forces between in a metallic bond
oppositely charged ions
what would a greater charge on the ions cause
a stronger attractive force
what would larger sized ions cause
weaker attraction due to atomic radius
why do metallic bonded chemicals conduct
because electrons are free to move
