metal elements
CHARACTERISTICS

MALLEAB
LE
-capable of
great
deformation
without
breaking DUCTILE
-stretches
under
tensile
stress
High
melting and
LUSTE
boiling point R
-
Reflects
in light,
shines
brightly,
glows

Charge carriers in the conduction

of electricity and energy carrier in
the conduction of heat
STRUCTURE

Atoms of a metal crystal are arranged

in similar patterns, called close-packed
structures
 Positively charged ions
surrounded by a ‘sea’ of
mobile delocalised
electrons

‘sea’ of delocalised
electrons

Metals from giant structures contain free

electrons, making them a good conductor of
heat and electricity
