This explains many properties of ionic solids. They are hard and brittle, they are not malleable or ductile (i.e. cannot be shaped without cracking/breaking), and they do not conduct electricity. Metallic bonding describes a lattice of positively charged ions, surrounded by a mobile 'sea' of valence electrons.
