Metallic Bond
Chemical Bonding & Molecular Structure
kJ/mol
The attraction between a lattice of metal cations and the delocalised electrons that move freely throughout the structure.
Molecular Geometry
Chemical Bonding & Molecular Structure
degrees
The three-dimensional arrangement of the bonded atoms in a molecule, ignoring the positions of lone pairs.
Molecular Orbital Theory
Chemical Bonding & Molecular Structure
Dimensionless
The bonding model in which atomic orbitals combine to form molecular orbitals delocalised over the entire molecule.
ψ_MO = c₁ψ_A ± c₂ψ_B
