Metallic bonding is characterized by a “sea of electrons” shared among a lattice of metal cations. The delocalized electrons allow metals to conduct electricity and heat efficiently. They are also responsible for metals’ malleability and ductility. Factors like electron density and atomic size influence bond strength, which in turn affects melting and boiling points of metals. Understanding metallic bonding is key in metallurgy and materials science.
