$\huge \purple A \purple N \purple s\purple W \purple e \purple \R :-$

• Metals in general are conductive, with high electrical conductivity and high thermal conductivity. Typically they are malleable and ductile, deforming under stress without cleaving. ... The electrical and thermal conductivities of metals originate from the fact that their outer electrons are delocalized.

${\tt{\red{\underline{\underline{\huge{Answer:}}}}}}$

❥︎Metals typically consist of close-packed atoms, meaning that the atoms are arranged like closely packed spheres. ... Metals are shiny and lustrous with a high density. They have very high melting and boiling points because metallic bonding is very strong, so the atoms are reluctant to break apart into a liquid or gas.
