METALS
Metallic bonding  - metal + metal
Electron sea model
- delocalized "sea" of mobile valence electrons around a regular but non-rigid array of metal ions (nuclei + core electrons)
Metal Properties:
• Solids (liquids)
• malleable (beaten), ductile (extruded)
• good electrical and thermal conductors
• moderate melting pt, and moderately
  high boiling points
