Metallic bonding
Metallic bonding
arises from the electrostatic attractive force between
conduction electrons
(in the form of an electron cloud of delocalized electrons) and positively charged metal ions. It may be described as the sharing of
free
electrons among a
lattice
of positively charged ions (
cations
). Metallic bonding accounts for many
physical properties
of metals, such as
strength
,
ductility
,
thermal
and
electrical resistivity and conductivity
,
opacity
, and
luster
.
