- Giant Metallic Structures
- Metal atoms are arranged in layers.
- When a force is applied the layers of atoms will slide over each other.
- They can move into a new position without breaking apart
- Therefore meaning a metal can bend or stretch into a new shape
- They can move into a new position without breaking apart
- When a force is applied the layers of atoms will slide over each other.
- Alloys
- Alloys are a mixture of metals or metals mixed with other elements.
- The different sized atoms distorts the layers which makes it hard for them to slide.
- This makes alloys harder than pure metals.

- Alloys are a mixture of metals or metals mixed with other elements.
- Metal structures have delocalised electrons.
- This makes them great conductors of heat and electricity.
