I'm familiar with the sea model of metals. What I'm curious about is: exactly how many electrons are lost by the iron, to be absorbed into the sea of electrons? For a general metal, how many electrons are lost to the sea of electrons?

Thanks

    I'm curious to know whether this aspect of the electron sea model can be quantified, and how well it correlates with the melting and boiling points of the pure substances. – Nicolau Saker Neto Apr 20 '15 at 15:57
