metallic bonding
when the electrons from the outer shells of metal atoms are delocalised the metal atoms become positive metal ions. But then when we talk about how pure metals are malleable we say that the layers of atoms can slide over each other. Is there a reason why, is something I'm saying wrong or is it just how aqa want?
