Delocalized electrons play a big role in how metals bond together. Here are two main reasons why they are so important:

• Conducting Electricity: Delocalized electrons can move around easily within the metal. This is why metals are good at carrying electricity.

• Malleability: Because these electrons can shift, metals can bend and be shaped without cracking or breaking.

In short, delocalized electrons give metals special qualities that we use in our daily lives!
