In Metals Metallic bonding occurs. Here the valence electrons are delocalized and the electrons are shared by more than one atom.

This unique bonding in metals gives them with special properties like conductivity and Malleability . That's why some metals bend.

Bending and Flex of metals depends on the strength of metallic bonding between atoms of that particular material.

When one end of a piece of metal is heated what happens?

When one end of a piece of metal is heated, the metal molecules gain energy and vibrate more rapidly. This causes the molecules to expand, leading to the expansion of the metal itself. As a result, the metal will bend or warp due to the uneven distribution of heat throughout its structure.


Why does metal get hot when you bend it?

When you bend metal, the atoms in the metal are forced to move closer together, which increases their kinetic energy and causes the metal to heat up.
