Presentation Transcript

  1. Bonding in Metals

  2. Metals • Made up of closely packed cations • Not neutral atoms • Valence e- can move Recall: What type of ionization energy do metals have? Low = tend to lose e-

  3. Metallic Bonding • Free floating valence e- are attracted to (+) metal ions

  4. Free floating valence e- explain metallic properties: • Good conductors • Malleable & Ductile • Luster

  5. Crystalline Structure • Metal atoms are arranged in very compact & orderly patterns

  6. Alloys • Mixtures that contain a metal & one or more ‘other’ elements • Superior properties • Examples: Sterling Silver – Bronze – Steel – Titanium - Silver & Copper Copper & Tin Iron, Carbon, Chromium, Nickel Aluminum & Vanadium
