Metalic Structure 0.0 / 5 ? ChemistryAtoms and compoundsGCSEAQA Created by: asho glenoCreated on: 14-04-15 16:34 Inside a metal, there is a regular lattice structure with + charged metal ions and... - free delocalised electrons which together create a strong electrostatic attraction 1 of 5 These electrons are free to move around and so, metals are good... conductors of heat and electricity 2 of 5 They allow the layers of atoms to slide over each other allowing... metals to be malleable (bent with a hammer) and ductile (stretch it out) 3 of 5 Pure metals are sometimes not strong enough, so... alloys are created 4 of 5 Different elements have different sized atoms, so when another metal is mixed with... a pure metal, the new atoms distort the layers, making it more difficult to slide over each other 5 of 5
