Metallic Bonding

Mr. Andersen explains metallic bonding using the electron sea model, highlighting properties like conductivity, malleability, ductility, and low volatility. He discusses transition metals, their electron configurations, and how these affect melting points. The video concludes with a summary and a check on understanding the concepts.
