There are overlapping orbitals that allow outer electrons of atoms to move about freely throughout the entire
Electrons are repelled
Bonds are broken between electrons and cations
Draw the structure of a metal.

Metals have (a) melting and boiling points because of the (b) electrostatic forces of between (c) ions and (d) electrons. A (e) amount of energy is required to break these forces.
Metals are good conductors of heat...
because they are shiny and reflect heat.
because the absorb heat.
the electrons are delocalised and able to move, colliding with cations to transfer themal energy.
because the cations can move freely to transfer thermal energy.
Why do metallic compounds conduct electricity as solids?
core electrons are mobile, allowing electricity to flow through the metal
valence electrons are mobile, allowing electricity to flow through the metal
protons are mobile, allowing electricity to flow through the metal
the metal cations are mobile, allowing electricity to flow through the metal
Metals are (a) because when a metal is hit, the metallic layers (b) each other. The (c) electrons (d) along with the cations. The metallic bond (e) break.
