Question
which of these is a property of a metallic solid? low melting and boiling points malleable dull luster held together only with intermolecular forces
Brief Explanations
Metallic solids have a sea of delocalized electrons, allowing layers of atoms to slide past each other without breaking bonds, making them malleable. They typically have high melting/boiling points, shiny luster, and are held by metallic bonds (not just intermolecular forces).
