© 2008 Brooks/Cole 2 Metallic Bonds: The “electron” sea model Valence electrons can move anywhere within the metal These electrons are delocalized (similar to resonance)

© 2008 Brooks/Cole 3 To understand metallic bonding and electrical conductivity, we need to re-visit molecular orbital theory.

© 2008 Brooks/Cole 6 So why don’t all solids conduct electricity? Metals, Semiconductors & Insulators Silicon and germanium form network solids similar to diamond but they are semiconductors.

Superconductors typical metal Resistance Temperature (K) superconductor TcTc critical T 0 Wrong! Should approach zero resistance! Why are super conductors useful?
