Metal is an incomprehensibly expansive term that takes in everything from lead (a super heavy metal) and aluminium (a super-light one) to mercury (a metal that is ordinarily a fluid) and sodium (a metal sufficiently delicate to cut like cheddar that, joined with chlorine, you can sprinkle on your food—assalt). In science, a metal is a component that promptly forms positive particles (cations) and has metallic bonds.
The properties and the crystal structures of intermetallic compounds frequently differ from those of their constituents. Notwithstanding the ordinary valences of their segments, the relative sizes of the molecules and the proportion of the total number of valence electrons to the total number of atoms affect the intermetallic compounds composition.
