What characteristic of metallic bonds allows metals to be malleable and ductile?

• The tightly held valence electrons in metallic bonds allow the atoms in a metal to move freely.

• The strong connection between atoms in metallic bonds allows the bonds to bend without breaking.

• The sea of free electrons in metallic bonds allow the atoms to move when stressed without changing the properties of the substance.

• The crystal structure of atoms in metallic bonds allows the metal to maintain a constant pattern when force is applied.
