Properties of metals | HS Chemistry | Khan Academy

Courses on Khan Academy are always 100% free. Start practicing—and saving your progress—now! Examine how metallic bonding explains the key properties of metals. Delocalized electrons enable strong conductivity, high melting points, and flexibility, allowing metals to bend and stretch without breaking. Discover how electron loss drives reactivity, oxidation, and reactions with acids, connecting atomic structure to everyday uses of metals. ----- Sections: 00:00 Intro 00:47 Metallic bond 02:42 Conductivity 03:36 High melting point 04:45 Malleablity and ductility 05:48 Luster (Shiny) 06:12 Reactivity 07:02 Oxidation 08:57 Reaction with acids 09:33 Summary ----- Khan Academy is a nonprofit organization with the mission of providing a free, world-class education for anyone, anywhere.
