Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the primary type of bonding in metals?
  • Step 1: Understand that metals are made up of atoms that are arranged in a regular pattern called a lattice.
  • Step 2: Know that in metallic bonding, the outer electrons of the metal atoms are not fixed to one atom; instead, they move freely.
  • Step 3: This movement of electrons creates what is called a 'sea of electrons' around the metal cations (positively charged metal ions).
  • Step 4: The sea of electrons helps hold the metal cations together, allowing metals to conduct electricity and heat.
