New Shower Costs. The actual cost of a new shower depends on your location, the materials used, the complexity of the installation, and other factors. 1  A basic shower enclosure may cost as little as $400 to $600, while a combination bath/shower unit or a top-of-the-line surround could cost $1,500 to $3,000 or more.
A metal with a large number of free flowing electrons most likely has good conductivity
The strength of the metallic bond depends on the. 1  number of electrons in the delocalised 'sea' of electrons. ( 2 More delocalised electrons results in a stronger bond and a higher melting point.). 3  packing arrangement of the metal atoms. The physical properties of solid metals are: 2  conduct heat. 3  conduct electricity. 4  generally high melting and boiling points. 5  strong. 6  malleable (can be hammered or pressed out of shape without breaking). 7  ductile (able to be drawn into a wire). 8  metallic lustre. 9  opaque (reflect light).
