1 A metal is a lattice of positive metal 'ions' in a 'sea' of delocalised electrons. 2  Metallic bonding refers to the interaction between the delocalised electrons and the metal nuclei. 3  The physical properties of metals are the result of the delocalisation of the electrons involved in metallic bonding.he strength of the metallic bond depends on the. 1  number of electrons in the delocalised 'sea' of electrons. ( 2 More delocalised electrons results in a stronger bond and a higher melting point.). 3  packing arrangement of the metal atoms.
] are free to move. The metallic bond is the force of attraction between these free electrons and metal ions [ions: Electrically charged particles, formed when an atom or molecule gains or loses electrons. ] .Metallic bonds are strong, so metals can maintain a regular structure and usually have high melting and boiling points.he metallic bond is the force of attraction between these free electrons and metal ions [ions: Electrically charged particles, formed when an atom or molecule gains or loses electrons. ] .
