Metallic Bonds

We've learned about ionic and covalent bonds, so we understand the interactions that will occur between a metal and a nonmetal, or between two nonmetals. But what about two metals? Metallic bonding! This ends up being sort of like ionic bonds and sort of like covalent bonds. These will be very important to understand if we want to discuss the behavior of metals, so let's get a closer look at these now.

Check out "Is This Wi-Fi Organic?", my book on disarming pseudoscience!

I'll never understand how Dave is the only professor on the internet I can watch forever without getting tired of it. I've learned a lot from all these videos and my interest for space only got bigger, it's amazing

How do you edit so perfectly? Your edits are so easy on the eyes, I don't get an eye strain even after watching your videos for long periods.

dude just droped a whole school year in a 6 minutes video. Thank you for your service Dave.

Hooray, more chemistry! This is a great topic. I'm looking forward to future content including the geology series. Keep up the good work!

[MaggieDanger]

Aw man, I wish I'd had you as a teacher in high school. I didn't learn the first thing about theoretical chemistry from our teacher, I only got passing grades by being ridiculously apt at experimental and applied chemistry thanks to my physics teacher.
Whenever you explain things it's making perfect sense, making me feel kinda bad I didn't learn it back in high school ^^8. Thanks!

Another to the point video, keep up the great work Professor Dave. The style of your approach to teaching is priceless, as it's in pieces just enough to get one thinking about it, however these are complex subjects. Like the elephant one spoon at a time. Cheers!

Timing was impeccable, we discussed this in class today

Ngl this video helped. I had a vague idea of how metals interacted with each other but not as detailed as I wanted. Thank you!

[maftplays]

This is the stuff that will be covered at my school this year! Thanks Dave!

Interesting the gallium and mercury seem so much alike, especially at room temperature, but these metals are quite dissimilar in most other respects. For example, gallium's vaporization point is thousands of degrees higher than mercury's.

[AdeyemiAraile]

Please explain why some metal have higher melting point than the other

[ObedGyimah-dwcw]

Thank you very much.
I really find your lectures very informative and educative

[gamelover]

this is very very good video Professor Dave :)

[karlkutac]

"Upcoming geology series"? Oh man, I can't wait!

[janmelantu]

Oh so THAT’S the difference between Malleability and Ductility. I’ve been using them interchangeably because my Materials Engineering courses didn’t really cover it

[devanshtripathi]

PROFESSOR
calculus series was indeed great i loved it you the most influential teacher i ever met wont it be better if u make an advanced mathematics lectures in not now but after a month so cause i know right now u are busy creating economic playlist
ANYWAYS than you so much

First time learning about this. Not sure why I only learned about ionic and covalent bonds.

[sugarfrosted]

Isn't tin a weird one that can also nonmetallicly bond to itself in certain circumstances?

[Broken-mind]

What do you mean delocalized? What happens to the orbitals? The electrons leave their orbitals and just decide to hangout in between atoms?

[Lacko]

While I was watching your video, I was thinking about graphene. In it a carbon atom has three valence electrons in covalent bond and one valence electron is delocalized. So what is graphene actually?
