Show transcript
Metals are good electrical conductors and good thermal conductors.
Metals can be stretched into wires, or bent/hammered into different shapes.
Individual atoms do not have the physical properties of the substances that contain them.
Metallic structures consist of positive ions and free–moving outer shell electrons.
Electrostatic forces of attraction between ions and free electrons bind them all together in a giant metallic structure.
