Metallic Bonds
"Sea of electrons" that move freely around the metal atoms
The sharing of electrons between __________ atoms
Metallic bonds: attraction of a metallic cation for the delocalized sea of electrons
Metal atoms have at least 1 valence electron, but __________ share or lose electrons.
Instead the outer energy levels overlap.
Delocalized electrons: electrons not held by any specific atom
__________ model: all metal atoms in a metallic solid contribute their valence electrons to form a "sea" of electrons
Properties: High __________ point, high __________ point, ductile, malleable
Does not dissolve in water due to the 'sea of electrons'
Metallic compounds are great __________ of electricity
Absorb and release photons making metals look shiny (__________)
Increase strength and hardness
