Metallic bonding is caused because electrons in the
highest
energy level has the ability to become delocalized.
Meaning its no longer
confined
to that space around the nucleus and are able to move around the metallic structure.
The
delocalized
electrons make metallic bonding have unique
properties
such as a high melting point and high electronic conductivity
