Answer:

In a metallic solid atoms are arranged in a lattice-like 3D structure where there is a regular array of metal cations surrounded by a sea of delocalised electrons. In iron, the atoms are arranged in a lattice like the one shown below. The atoms have lots of shells of electrons surrounding the nucleus.
