The delocalised electrons are free to move throughout the structure in 3-dimensions. They can cross grain boundaries. Even though the pattern may be disrupted at the boundary, as long as atoms are touching each other, the metallic bond is still present.

Which can conduct electricity metals or non-metals?

Metals can conduct electricity because they have free electrons that can move easily between atoms, allowing electricity to flow. Non-metals, on the other hand, generally do not conduct electricity well because they do not have free electrons available for conduction.
