Most metals are close packed that is, they fit as many atoms as possible into the available volume. Each atom in the structure has 12 touching neighbors.
each atom has 6 atoms touching it in each layer.
This is the best answer i could find feel free to improve and edit it

Are non-metals flexible?
No, non-metals are not malleable simply because of the way the atoms are arranged. In metals the atoms are arranged so they will just slide past each other but in non-metals the atoms are arranged differently so they on't just slide past each other.
What statement is correct for all metals?
In their natural state, all pure metals are crystalline when solid. This means that their atoms are arranged in a precise, repeating pattern, unlike glass or wood. However, modern techniques can produce non-crystalline metals.
How are atoms arranged within a crystal?
The atoms are arranged in repeating patterns.
Is Copper a pure substance?
Copper is a metallic element with the symbol Cu (29) and in its pure form contains only atoms of Copper. It is a pure substance. In addition, Copper is a soft metal and can be mixed with other metals to create alloys.
Why are alloys harder than metals?
Alloys are not necessarily harder or stronger than pure metals. For example gallium and aluminum form an alloy that is extremely weak. Many of the alloys we know of are stronger than pure metals because those are the ones we find most useful. In most pure metals, there will be gaps in between atoms. In many alloys we fill in those gaps with some other type of atom, adding extra support.
Are non-metals flexible?
No, non-metals are not malleable simply because of the way the atoms are arranged. In metals the atoms are arranged so they will just slide past each other but in non-metals the atoms are arranged differently so they on't just slide past each other.

WHAT ARE diamonds and coal are made of?
They are both made of pure carbon but are the atoms are arranged differently.
What are the fundamentals of all metals?
crystal lattices are the building blocks of all metals are atoms arranged in very precise three dimensional patterns
A form of pure carbon with atoms arranged in the shape of a hollow sphere?
carbon nanotubes
What is a form of pure carbon with atoms arranged in the shape of a long hollow tube?
You've described a carbon nanotube.
What happens When metals react with other elements the atoms of the metal?
it basiclly has sex and gets high
How are atoms arranged within a crystal?
The atoms are arranged in repeating patterns.
What is a softer form of pure carbon in which the atoms are arranged in layers that rub past each other?
Graphite.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphite
How the tensile strength of a metal is increased by alloying?
Alloying metals make them stronger because in pure metals all the atoms are the same size and ordered but when another element is added then it makes the atoms irregular making the layers harder to shift, making it stronger.An alloy is a mixture of two elements, one of which is a metal. Alloys often have properties that are different to the metals they contain. This makes them more useful than the pure metals alone. For example, alloys are often harder than the metal they contain.Alloys contain atoms of different sizes, which distorts the regular arrangements of atoms. This makes it more difficult for the layers to slide over each other, so alloys are harder than the pure metal.
Is ion a metal?
No, an ion is any atom or group atoms with a net positive or negative electric charge. Metals can form ions, but compounds contain metal ions are known as metal salts, not metals. In their pure "metallic" form metals exists as neutral atoms.
Which element is formed from a metal and a nonmetal?
An element is a pure substance containing only one type of atoms so it can not be prepared by the combination of two metals or non metals.
