Question

Write two examples of metallic solids.

Answer 1

Metallic solids:

• Metallic solids are solids made up of metal atoms linked together with metallic bonds.
• In these solids, positive ions are surrounded by mobile free electrons and are evenly spread all over the crystal.
• The electrons in metallic solids are thus delocalized.

Examples of metallic solids

• Copper$\left(\mathrm{Cu}\right)$
• Zinc$\left(\mathrm{Zn}\right)$.
