Metallic elements
Key to metallic bonds
electrons
loosely bound to nucleus
electrons
- Free mobility
- thermal and electrical conductivity
- ductility-bend without breaking
Electrons
Molten metal -> nuclei of crystalization -> Crystal growth -> crystallization of metal upon cooling -> formation of grains
Microstructure of metals

Metal alloys
Atoms can slide in
Ductile
- Must be made to resist deformation
- Modified to impede dislocations

Density =
Weight / unit volume
g/cm3
Specific gravity -
Density of material/ density of water
aka relative density
Most things expand when
heated and contract when cooled
Thermal expansion
teeth are insulators due to high mineral content
Heat flow
Measure of heat flow
Thermal conductivity

thermal insulator like base

not need base
