Metals tend to have a [[crystal]]line structure. They consist of [[ion]]s arranged in a regular, periodic fashion, surrounded by delocalized [[electron]]s. These delocalized electrons can move freely throughout the metal, meaning metals can easily conduct an electrical current or heat. The interaction between the sea of delocalized electrons and the positive ions is called a [[metallic bond]].
