Why are metals such good conductors of electricity and are malleable?

Metallic bonding is made by delocalized “sea” of electrons around the nucleus of the metal. This means that the electrons are not fixed so it can move freely to conduct electricity. Also, due to its delocalized electrons, metallic bonded substances lack lattice structure which makes them malleable and ductile.
