Question

In metallic bonding, the electrons

Answer 1

A metallic bond is a bond between two metals or cations. In metallic bonding, the electrons are shared between the positive ions. The electrons move around between atoms. This is what allows objects with metallic bonds to be malleable and able to conduct electricity.

Answer 2

In metallic bonds the electrons of the valence shell can move freely within the metal, thus explaining its electric conductivity.
