Explanation:
In a metal, atoms readily lose electrons to form positive ions (cations). These ions are surrounded by delocalized electrons, which are responsible for conductivity. The solid produced is held together by electrostatic interactions between the ions and the electron cloud. These interactions are called metallic bonds. Metallic bonding accounts for many physical properties of metals, such as strength, malleability, ductility, thermal and electrical conductivity, opacity, and luster.
