Metallic Bonding Explained
Electrons in metals become delocalized, creating a "sea" that allows metal ions to be positively charged yet still attract one another. This unique bonding structure explains why metals are malleable and ductile, unlike ionic substances that can crack under pressure. The flexibility of metallic bonding allows for the rearrangement of atoms without destabilizing the overall structure, making metals easier to manipulate.In this clip
