→About Metals
: [[Metal]]s are on the left hand side of the [[Periodic Table]] because those [[element]]s lose [[electron]]s to form [[Positive Ion|positive ions]] in [[compound]]s with [[non-metal]]s.
: [[Metal]]s form [[Hydroxide Ion(Chemistry)|hydroxide]]s when they [[Chemical Reaction|react]] with [[water]].: [[Metal]] [[Oxide]]s, [[Metal]] [[Carbonate]]s and [[Metal]] [[Hydroxide Ion (Chemistry)|Hydroxide]]s all have [[pH]] above 7.
: [[Salt]]s are [[metal]] [[compound]]s produced in [[Neutralisation]] [[Chemical Reaction|reactions]].
: [[Metal]] [[element]]s form [[Metallic Bond|metallic bonds]] in which [[Positive Ion|positive ions]] are surrounded by a sea of [[Delocalised Electron|delocalised electrons]].
