Title: How do the electrons in a metal overcome the ionization energies?
Post by: MattA147 on December 01, 2012, 04:39:57 AM

Hi Guys :)

I was just wondering how the delocalized electrons in a metal which is metallically bonded get the energy to overcome the ionization energy/pull of the nucleus and the like?

Apologies if this is in the wrong forum or if I am not making any sense.

Thanks in advance for any contributions. :)
