1 A metal is a lattice of positive metal 'ions' in a 'sea' of delocalised electrons. 2  Metallic bonding refers to the interaction between the delocalised electrons and the metal nuclei. 3  The physical properties of metals are the result of the delocalisation of the electrons involved in metallic bonding. The physical properties of solid metals are: 2  conduct heat. 3  conduct electricity. 4  generally high melting and boiling points. 5  strong. 6  malleable (can be hammered or pressed out of shape without breaking). 7  ductile (able to be drawn into a wire). 8  metallic lustre. 9  opaque (reflect light).

However, those born just 10 years later began drinking around the age of 14.
