Bonding: Metallic Bonding and Properties of Materials

Metallic bonding is the attraction between delocalised electrons and positive metal ions.
This bonding occurs in a lattice structure.
Properties such as melting point and conductivity are influenced by this bonding and structure.
The primary structure types are ionic, metallic, macromolecular, and molecular.
Metallic structures, for example, conduct electricity due to delocalised electrons.
They also have high boiling points due to their large structure and strong bonds.
