Some of the electrons in metals have energy levels putting them in the "conduction band", meaning they're shared kind of throughout the bulk of the entire metal instead of being localized into a single atom or molecule.

Out of ionic pure covalent metallic and polar covalent which is most likely to conduct electricity?
All types of covalent compounds are not very good conductors of electricity. However, ionic compounds in their molten state and metallic substances are very good conductors of electricity.
What is the type of the chemical bond of aluminum foil?
Metallic aluminum does not form chemical bonds, in all metals the outer electrons escape forming an "electron gas" that fills the bulk of the metal. This is why metals are both good electrical conductors and thermal conductors.
What are some properties that aluminum copper iron share?
All three Metallic Elements Aluminum, Copper and Iron are quite Malleable and Good Conductors of Electricity.
What are two properties of metallic minerals?
mu butt
What are the three properties of a Metallic structure?
1) Metals have high melting and boiling points 2) Metals conduct electricity 3) Metals are good conductors of heat
What is one property that may be used to distinguish metallic from nonmetallic minerals?
the main points are 6 to 7 but i am only mentioning one metals are good conductors of heat non metals are not good conductors of heat
What types of bonds do you think the good conductors of electricity have?
Ionic has good conductors of electricity
What are property of metallic element?
good conductors of electricitygood conductors of heatmaeleablehigh tensile strength
List two uses for metallic minerals?
Mtallic Minerals used for aircrafts, automboblies, computer, and spacecaft. Nometallic Minerals are used for roads, buliding, bidges, and other stuctures.
Is marble and fossils are non metallic minerals?
fossils are not metallic minerals. marbles are non metallic minerals.
What does an electrical insulator have?
Electrical insulators are made from materials that are poor conductors of electricity. Metallic elements are good conductors, non metallic elements are poor conductors. Some materials used as insulators are, paper, glass, ceramics, rubber and plastics.
What is non- metallic minerals?
Non metallic minerals are minerals that have no shine and crumble easily. Non-metallic minerals are sand, gravel, and stone.
What is true about most metals?
Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity. They have a metallic luster. All the metals are solids except Mercury.
What are four physical properties shared by metallic elements?
Four physical properties shared by the metallic elements are that they are ductile, malleable, have good thermal conductivity, and have a metallic luster. They are also good conductors of electricity.
What is metallic miner?
Metallic minerals are minerals that have a metallic luster, making them very shiny. A few metallic minerals are Graphite, Galena, Magnetite, and Pyrite. The mineral Hematite can be metallic or nonmetallic
