A metallic lattice consists of positive ions in a 'sea' of outershell negative electrons which are delocalised and mobile through the metal structure. The lattice is held together by strong forces of attraction between the mobile electrons and the positive ions.

What is a three dimensional pattern of atoms and ions in a solid called?
It's a crystal lattice or lattice structure
What are lattice and sub-lattice?
Lattice is imaginary set of points in space from which the crystal structure is constructed by adding basis to each point
Does salt dissolve in water and why?
Yes. The structure of salt is an ionic lattice of NaCl. This lattice dissociates in water to produce Na+ and Cl- ions.
What is an orderly 3-dimensional arrangement formed by atoms or ions called?
An orderly pattern of ions or atoms in a solid is a crystal.
What is built using a framework or lattice?
A framework or lattice is the structure of crystalline materials. For example, a diamond is a lattice covalent bonded and highly organized carbon atoms lending to its super strength. Similarly salt has lattice pattern, but in this case it is from ionic attraction. Nevertheless the lattice in salt gives it the strength to have an intensely high melting point.
What is the structure of lead metal?
Normally lead metal will have a cubic face centered lattice structure.
What is the structure of metals?
Normally lead metal will have a cubic face centered lattice structure.
The ions in solid sodium chloride are arranged in a structure called an?
metal lattice
How does the crystalline structure of a metal differ from the structure of an ionic compound such as sodium chloride or cesium chloride?
The metal's cubic lattice is made of only one kind of atom.
What type of structure does sodium possess?
Sodium in its elemental form is a metal. The crystal structure of the metal lattice is body centred cubic where each atom has eight near neighbours. This structure is adopted by all of the group 1 metals.
What is an an orderly three dimensional arrangement formed by ions called?
a crystal.
What are crystal lattices?
crystal lattice means atoms of the lattice are arranged in a regular manner and every atom or ion in the structure have same property with the remaining atoms or ions in the structure
What is a three dimensional pattern of atoms and ions in a solid called?
It's a crystal lattice or lattice structure
How does adding larger metal atoms to a metal lattice make the metal harder?
No!
What are lattice and sub-lattice?
Lattice is imaginary set of points in space from which the crystal structure is constructed by adding basis to each point
How do ions maintain the structure of the lattice?
Opposites attract! eg. (+) = cation, (-) = anion IONIC LATTIce (+) (-) (+) (-) (-) (+) (-) (+) (+) (-) (+) (-) (-) (+) (-) (+)
What is dolomites crystal structure?
Dolomite has a trigonal crystal structure which in turn has a hexagonal lattice structure.
