The presence of mobile electrons causes the electrical conductivity of a metal.
- When a potential difference is applied across a metal, the free mobile electrons in the metallic crystal move toward the positive electrode.
- The electrons can move freely within molecular orbitals, and so each electron becomes detached from its parent atom.
- Metallic bonding is the electromagnetic interaction between loosely held, delocalized, valence electrons, gathered in an "electron sea", and the metallic nuclei within metals.
- This type of bonding is seen as the sharing of "free" electrons among a lattice of positively charged ions (cations).
- The electrons are said to be 'delocalized'. The metal is held together by the strong forces of attraction between the positive nuclei and the delocalized electrons.
- This is sometimes described as "an array of positive ions in a sea of electrons".
