5a. Metals and their position in the Periodic Table of Elements

Its a good idea to have some idea of where the metallic elements are in the periodic table

The black zig–zag line 'roughly' divides the metals on the left from the non–metals on the right of the elements of the Periodic Table.

Pd metals Part of the modern Periodic Table
Pd = period, Gp = group

Chemical bonding comments about the selected elements highlighted in white

e.g. the 'white' highlighted elements are typical metals you are likely to have come across, either as a pure metal or in an alloy mixture of metals – all the atoms are held together by what is called 'metallic bonding' – details of the bonding model below

Metallic bonding is described and the properties of pure metals and alloys are described and explained using the giant metal lattice structure model which is used to explain the physical properties of metals.

The structure of alloys is explained and why alloy metals are more useful than pure metals.
