Describe the structure of metal and its bonding and how its structure contribute to its properties.
Metals have a distinct bonding known as metallic bonds, where there is a sea of delocalised electrons and metal ions present. This is due to electrons leaving the atom forming a positive metal ion and a sea of delocalise electrons. The attraction between the free moving electrons and the positive metal ions makes metal strong. Large amount of energy is required to overcome the attraction, which gives metal a high melting and boiling point.
