Three diagrams for the structure of metal atoms showing the lattice, the movement of electrons and how alloys are harder than pure metals because the different sized atoms disrupts the regular layers
Three diagrams for the structure of metal atoms showing the lattice, the movement of electrons and how alloys are harder than pure metals because the different sized atoms disrupts the regular layers
A diagram for the structure of sodium atoms showing the free electrons moving between the regular layers of positive metal ions
A diagram for the 3D structure of metals showing a regular cubic lattice of large positive particles and much smaller negative particles moving constantly around them
A diagram showing how pure metals are soft and malleable because the layers of the same-sized atoms can easily slide past each other
A diagram showing how the regular structure of metal atoms are disrupted in metal alloys by the different sized atoms making them harder
