Well metallic Bonds are positive metal ions surrounded by mobile electrons, in the bond the mobile electrons easily slide past one another when subjected to pressure.
As for ionic crysal, pressure pushes ions of like charges into contact. They repel and crystal breaks apart.

When nonmetals and metals react which atom electrons?
Metals loss electrons and nonmetals gain electrons.
If metals loose electrons to non metals are metals now anions?
No, it is not true. When metals loose electrons they become cations.
Do metals prefer to receive electrons in chemical reactions?
Yes. Metals lose their valence electrons to form cations, or positive ions. Once they lose electrons, the number of protons in their nuclei outnumber the electrons, hence the positive charge.
When metals and non metals react whichs atoms gain electrons?
Nonmetals usually accept electrons to become negative ions (anions), e.g. Cl + e- --> Cl-.
Do transition metals have a simple or complex arrangement of electrons?
Transition metals have a complex arrangement of electrons.
Why metals good electrical conductors?
In their regular (lattice) structure, metals have a sea of free electrons. This allows the electrons to flow through the metal at will and this is what makes metals good conductors of electricity (and heat).Their mobile electrons
What do mobile electrons due in metals?
mobile electron is responsible for metallic bonding in metals
What property of metals make them good conductors of heat?
their mobile electrons
Which property of metals make them good conductors of heat?
Their mobile electrons
Why are metals have high elctrical conductivity?
Metals have high electrical conductivity because they have alot of free mobile electrons. Metals have metallic bonding in which a sea of electrons is created. It is this sea of electrons that enables metals to conduct electricity so well.
Is a metals luster is due to its valence electrons?
Most of the properties of a metal, including lustre, are due to the metallic bonding of the electrons.
Why do metals conduct heat and electricity?
Electrons in metals are mobile and carry (conduct) electricity and heat energy. Plato: Free moving electrons carry both heat and electric current throughout the system
When nonmetals and metals react which atom electrons?
Metals loss electrons and nonmetals gain electrons.
Why can some metals act like permanent magnets?
because they contain mobile electrons, which are already in an order ...while other temporary are rubbed to make electrons in order....
Do metals take electrons or give electrons to the atoms they bond with?
Metals give up electrons while non-metals gain electrons
Why is nylon a good insulator?
It is a good electrical insulator because it has no mobile electrons, unlike metals which have a populated conduction band.
What is the plasma state of mater?
Plasma is a neutral mixture of positive and negative ions some of which are mobile, e.g electrons in metals .
