Mrtallic bond (urgent)

2011-07-14 3:21 am

In metallic bond, the attraction is between 'sea of electrons' and metal cation, which is non-directional.

I want to ask : Is there a technical name for ''sea of electrons'' ?

更新1:

I think no, the delocalized electrons and conduction electrons are together called the "sea of electrons". The thing I want to ask is : "Is there other name(s) for the term 'sea of electrons' ?"

No specific term.

Normally, we call it 'a sea of delocalized electrons and metal ions'.

Together we call the ions and electrons 'a sea of delocalized electrons and metal ions'.

But we call the ions 'metal ions'

And we call the electrons 'a sea of delocalized electrons' or 'a sea of free moving electrons' or 'a sea of mobile electrons'.

So there is no any technical name for it.
