<span>The lattice structure in a metal is weaker than the lattice structure of an ionic compound. This is because the metals have free electrons which can freely move around while ionic compounds are strongly bonded. Hope this answers the question.</span>
Electrons (negative charge, and orbits the nucleus), Protons (positive charge, and is in the nucleus) and Neutrons (no charge, and is in the nucleus)
<span>A full valence electron shell.</span>
