What is the best explanation for why metals are ductile? Valence electrons carry charge anywhere within molecular orbitals that span the metal. When the nuclei move relative to one another, the valence electrons act as a stretchy glue holding them together. Photons are absorbed and re-emitted. Metallic bonds involve delocalized electrons whereas covalent bonds involve localized electrons.
