Metals form bonds through a "sea" of delocalized electrons that are free to move throughout the entire crystal structure. This electron sea allows metals to conduct electricity and heat well while also making them malleable and ductile. Metallic bonding gives rise to several unique physical properties that can be observed on a macroscopic scale.
