metallic bond
electron sea theory
malleability
alloy
ductility
the ability of metals to be shaped by hammering or pounding
metals bond to other metals by sharing many \floating\ electrons
the bond formed when metal atoms share many mobile electrons
the ability of metals to be formed into wires
a mixture of the atoms of a metal with another element

Explanation:

• Metallic bond: The bond formed when metal atoms share many mobile electrons. This is the basic definition of a metallic bond.
• Electron sea theory: Metals bond to other metals by sharing many "floating" electrons. The electron - sea theory describes the delocalized electrons (like a sea of electrons) around metal cations.
• Malleability: The ability of metals to be shaped by hammering or pounding. Malleability is a physical property related to the deformation of metals under compressive force.
• Alloy: A mixture of the atoms of a metal with another element. Alloys can have different properties than the pure metals they are made from.
• Ductility: The ability of metals to be formed into wires. Ductility is a physical property related to the ability of a material to be drawn out into a wire.
