Metallic solids | Intermolecular forces and properties | AP Chemistry | Khan Academy
Metallic solids are composed of metal cations held together by a delocalized "sea" of valence electrons. Because their electrons are mobile, metallic solids are good conductors of heat and electricity. Metallic solids also tend to be malleable and ductile due to the ability of the metal nuclei to move past each other without disrupting the bonding.
