Answer: Metallic bonds and properties

Explanation: metals conduct electricity because electrons are free-floating - there is overall neutrality but individual (outer) electrons are not bound to specific atom.

Metals that are malleable and ductile have a crystal-like arrangement of atoms which allow groups of atoms to slide easily over each other when pressure is applied.
