Metallic bonding is the sharing of free electrons among lattice of positively charged metal ions.

It involves bonding between metal atoms.

The electrons participating on metallic bonds delocalize forming a sea of electrons around the positive nuclei of metals.

The availability of these electrons make metals good conductors of electricity.

The sea of electrons around the positive nuclei of metal atoms implies that these electrons are shared among many atoms.

The answer is thus :

THEY ARE SHARED AMONG MANY ATOMS
