Malleability means beaten into sheet and ductility means drawn into wires. These properties are due to the non- directional nature of the metallic bond. When any force is applied on the metal the position of kernels is changed without destroying the crystal. The metallic lattice gets deformed due to the slippage of the adjacent layers of the kernels from one part to another. It doesn't change the environment of the kernels. It simply moves the kernel from one lattice to another.

∙ 15y agoMetals bond in a specific way. When they bond, a lattice (think of a 3-D cube) of positive nuclei is formed with a "sea" of floating electrons moving in between the nuclei. This creates a VERY strong bond between all of the nuclei and electrons of the alloy. Because of this strength, a lot of energy (heat) is needed to break the bond, therefore they have high melting points.
Metallic bonds do not conduct heat very efficiently.

Properties of metals as high boiling point, high melting point, malleability, ductility, electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, lustre are explained by the theory of metallic bonds.

Conduct electricity, and usually also heat, readily. Metallic bonding also contributes to malleability.

Gold is a shiny, ductile material which is a good conductor of electricity and heat. All of these can be ascribed to its metallic bonds. What can't be explained so readily is its relative inertness and its color as metals are generally more reactive than gold and the majority are silvery white

It would be a good conductor. With bonds that explain gold's properties

A fresh surface of plutonium is silvery, metallic.
The metallic bonding within metals is caused by electrons that are interchangeable between metal atoms. This means the lines are blurred when it comes to where one atom stops and another starts. This seamless "sea" of electrons means metals are more ductile and less brittle, because of the "blending" of the atoms together. This is also the reason why metals are excellent conductors of heat and electricity.
All have few outer energy level electrons which are loosely held by the atom.
Delocalized electrons. They are the ones that move around, causing the metal to be ductile and malleable.
