Metallic bonds involve the delocalized sharing of electrons in a metal lattice from "summary" of Chemistry Simplified NCERT Class 11 by Sanjay Sharma

In metallic bonds, electrons are shared between metal atoms in a unique way. Unlike ionic or covalent bonds, where electrons are localized between specific atoms, metallic bonds involve the delocalized sharing of electrons. This means that the electrons are not tied to any one atom, but are free to move throughout the metal lattice. In a metal lattice, the outermost electrons of the metal atoms are able to move easily between atoms. This is because the outermost electrons in metal atoms are not tightly bound to the nucleus, allowing them to move freely within the lattice. As a result, these electrons are not associated with any particular atom, but instead form a "sea of electrons" that surrounds the positively charged metal ions. This delocalize...
