why metallic solids are soft to hard
Strong chemical bonds in solids are ionic bonds, covalent bonds in giant network molecules and metallic bonds. Weak bonds in solids holding discrete molecules together are hydrogen bonds in solid H2O, HF, NH3 Weak intermolecular forces including dispersion forces and permanent dipole interactions

Agree, because this repulsion of like electrostatic charges is an inherent property of such charges. However, the repulsive force can be exceeded by attractive, atomic level forces, such as those that form atomic nuclei from many protons, or by attractive electrostatic forces between opposite charges, as occurs in metallic bonding and ionic solids.
London dispersion forces (also known as van der Waals forces) hold molecular solids together. or Intermolecular forces

Metallic solids are composed of individual atoms.
Brittleness. Reason: Non-metallic solids are usually brittle.

The solid carbon compounds are mostly molecular solids.
