A particle-level diagram of a metallic element is shown above. Typically, metals are both malleable and ductile. The best explanation for these properties is that the electrons involved in bonding among metal atoms are

• unequally shared and form nondirectional bonds

• unequally shared and form highly directional bonds

• equally shared and form nondirectional bonds

• equally shared and form highly directional bonds
