Properties of Metals

• Metals also reflect light. This is a property called luster.

• Metals are malleable (MAL ee uh bul), which means they can be hammered or rolled into sheets.

• Metals are also ductile, which means they can be drawn into wires.

1 Metals

Ionic Bonding in Metals

• The atoms of metals generally have one to three electrons in their outer energy levels.

• In chemical reactions, metals tend to give up electrons easily because of the strength of charge of the protons in the nucleus.

Ionic Bonding in Metals

• When metals combine with nonmetals, the atoms of the metals tend to lose electrons to the atoms of nonmetals, forming ionic bonds.

• Both metals and nonmetals become more chemically stable when they form ions.

Section

1 Metals

Metallic Bonding

• In metallic bonding, positively charged metallic ions are surrounded by a sea of electrons.

• Outer-level electrons are not held tightly to the nucleus of an atom. Rather, the electrons move freely among many positively charged ions.

Section

1 Metals

Metallic Bonding

• The idea of metallic bonding explains many of the properties of metals.

• When a metal is hammered into a sheet or drawn into a wire, it does not break because the ions are in layers that slide past one another without losing their attraction to the electron sea.

• Metals are also good conductors of electricity because the outer-level electrons are weakly held and can move relatively feely.

The Alkali Metals

• Each atom of an alkali metal has one electron in its outer energy level.

• This electron is given up when an alkali metal combines with another atom.

• As a result, the alkali metal becomes a positively charged ion in a compound such as sodium chloride.
