Question:

Acids and bases, also metals, any help?

Right i understand acids release H+ ions and bases accept H+ ions and also release hydroxide ions. Is a metal a base? also whats the difference between a metal and a metal oxide and metal hydroxide? Its for revision chemistry additional and further, thanks for any help x

Answer:

atoms by sharing their electrons form bonding! How much they are compactly arranged determines the strength of that bonding and the strength of that metal. you mean this...?
In metals bonding is by means of an electron sea model in which mobile cations are present in a sea of electrons.
metals are electropositive so they form covalent bonds and co-ordinates bonds confirm from the web coz i read about them a long time ago
