Metallic Bonding Explained
Electrons in metals become delocalized, creating a "sea" of negative charge that allows metal ions to remain positively charged and attract each other. This unique bonding structure explains why metals are malleable and ductile, unlike ionic substances that can crack under stress. The flexibility of the metallic lattice allows for movement without instability, making metals easier to shape and manipulate.In this clip
