Metals are held together by metallic bonds. Metallic bonds consist of the attraction of the free-floating valence electrons for the positively charged metal ions. These bonds are the forces of attraction that hold metals together.
Metals are made up of closely packed cations rather than neutral atoms. The valence electrons of metal atoms can be modeled as a sea of electrons. The valence electrons are mobile and can drift freely from one part of the metal to another. Metallic bonds consist of the attraction of the free-floating valence electrons for the positively charged metal ions. These bonds are the forces of attraction that hold metals together.
I found out it's held by metallic bonds which is the electromagnetic interaction between delocalized electrons...i am not sure if that's right :D
using a metallic bond
Atoms of materials that conduct electricity best tend to be held together by metallic bonds. This is the attraction between positively charged nuclei in metal atoms and the delocalized electrons in the metal.
It varies from same as in a solid (glass, mercury), to that of a gas (and check out the "triple point") You should study - surface tension.
Solid : The particles are held together and arranged in a regular pattern. They cannot move from one place to another but only vibrate at their own positions. The spaces between them are very little. Liquid : The particles are close together but they can move from one place to another. The spaces between them are little. Gas : The particles are far apart and move freely in all directions.
The particles of a liquid move from one place to another although they are close together. Because of this, a liquid changes shape depending on the container they are put in. It does not have a fixed shape. The volume of a liquid is fixed; it can be measured.
it is a galaxy.
they are not held together.
The particles within diamond are held together by the strong covalent bonds.
gas particles are not held together and in liquid sthey are not held very tightly.
Yes, they are packed closely together
The protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom are held together by the strong force.
bonds
There are several things that are made of mineral particles held loosely together. They are soil, nebulas, atoms, clouds, and several other things.
If you think to the metal iron - a metallic bonding exist.
No. The particles are held strongly in the case of solid and least in the case of gases.
super glue
These are metals.
They are held together in a lattice structure by ionic bonds
