Why do metallic elements bend and not break?

Ionic compounds are bonded by ionic bonds. These bonds are very strong and not elastic. There is no way to bend them, even at high temperatures. Metals are bonded covalently. These are much weaker bonds and can bend easier. The bonds are more elastic, allowing metals to be bent.
