Fundamentals of Metallic Structure and Properties

Metals are unique because their atoms share electrons freely, forming a "sea" of electrons. This metallic bonding is why metals are good conductors of heat and electricity, and also gives them their characteristic luster. However, the arrangement of the metal atoms themselves in a solid state, known as their crystal structure, is what really defines many of their mechanical properties.
