The diagram shows a simple model of metallic structure. The metal ions are shown as tiny spheres, packed closely together in a regular pattern.

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 ...
