Metals have advantages over many other substances for they are hard but can be reshaped. Their crystalline structure allows them to be 'worked' to make them stronger. Mark Miodownik describes the ...

Ionic compounds form what is known as a lattice structure. This is a regular arrangement of metal and non-metal ions which creates compounds with very high melting points which conduct when molten ...

The transition metals include most of the metals you ... a consistent chemical composition and a highly ordered structure at the atomic level. When this highly ordered structure extends in all ...
