Because metals have a low electronegativity the electrons are not held tightly to the atoms. The loosely held electrons are able to shift and move positions.

This ability of the electrons creates the so called sea of electrons. The sea of electrons creates . The fact that electrons can be rearranged explains the malleability of metals ( that they can be hammered flat) and the ductility of metals (that they can be stretched into wires.

The sea of electrons creates the shimmer of electrons that is observed as metallic luster. The sea of electrons also explains how metals are able to conduct electricity.

Because metals have a low electronegativity the metals lose electrons creating a positive charge.

Why are neither the alkali metals nor the alkaline-earth metals found uncombined in nature?

Sodium $Na_11^23$ is so reactive that if sodium metal is placed in water it will react vigorously to produce Hydrogen gas and heat often causing an explosion. All of...

What is the difference between the hydroxides of non-metals, and the hydroxides of metals?

And the hydroxides of metals are usually bases... And a few oxo-acids are $(HO)_2S(=O)_2$, $(HO)_3P=O$, $HOstackrel+N(=O)O^(-)$, and $(O=)_3ClOH$...what are the conventional names of these acids? On the other hand, when...

What elements touch the staircase in the periodic table and have properties of both metals and non-metals?

A metalloid is an element whose properties are "in between" those of . For example, metals are excellent electothermal conductors, and nonmetals are non-conductors. Metalloids are described as semiconductors....
