Metals consist of giant structures of atoms arranged in a regular pattern. The electrons from the outer shells of the metal atoms are delocalised , and are free to move through the whole structure. This sharing of delocalised electrons results in strong metallic bonding .
In metalli bonding the valence electrons are delocalised and form a “sea” of mobile electrons while the positive metal atoms are held together by the electrons moving around
Cooling and heating system involves the collection and dissipation of heat appropriately. Heat gradient is important for heat transfer between systems because heat travels from the warmer system to the cooler system. The right medium for heat transfer is also important for this exchange – A good conductor of heat is required.
The vertical columns (groups) of the periodic table are arranged such that all its elements have the same number of valence electrons. All elements within a certain group thus share similar properties.
