Join the Electron Parade in Atomic City — where metal atoms share their sparks and create the sea of electrons that makes metals strong and conductive!
The Electron Parade in Atomic City turns metallic bonding into a visual, story-driven adventure. In this GCSE Combined Science (AQA 8464) resource, students meet the metal atoms of Atomic City as they throw the ultimate Electron Parade — sharing outer electrons freely to form the sea of delocalised electrons that gives metals their signature strength, shine, and conductivity.
Illustrated slides show how positive metal ions are held together by a shared electron sea, explaining why metals conduct electricity, bend without breaking, and have high melting points. “Science Behind the Story” panels unpack the electrostatic attraction between ions and electrons, valence electrons, and how charge, ion size, and delocalisation affect bond strength.
Includes Higher Tier content on magnesium, aluminium, and transition metals, linking atomic structure to real-world properties.
Perfect for KS4 lessons or revision, this resource makes metallic bonding memorable through clear visuals, storytelling, and solid scientific accuracy.
