- 5. Metals 19.1 Properties of Metals • Metals also reflect light. This is a property called luster. • Metals are malleable (MAL yuh bul), which means they can be hammered or rolled into sheets. • Metals are also ductile, which means they can be drawn into wires.
- 6. Metals 19.1 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.
- 7. Metals 19.1 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.
- 8. Metals 19.1 Metallic Bonding • In metallic bonding, positively charged metallic ions are surrounded by a cloud 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.
- 9. Metals 19.1 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 cloud. • Metals are also good conductors of electricity because the outer-level electrons are weakly held.
