    Metals form strong metallic bonds due to their positive metal ions being surrounded by a "sea" of delocalized electrons from the other metal atoms. This electrostatic attraction between the positive metal ions and delocalized electrons gives rise to metallic bonding and properties such as strength, ductility and thermal and electrical conductivity. Transition metals form particularly strong metallic bonds due to their ability to form stable cations with multiple oxidation states.

    Metals:
    • Left of periodic table
    • Few valence electrons
    • Low ionisation energies
    • Lose electrons easily to form positive ions

    Example 1:

    Example 2:

    Why do transition metals form very strong metallic bonds?

    Properties

    • Made by adding another element (normally a metal or carbon)


    to a metal in the molten state.
    • Have distinct properties - usually stronger
