When the metals are in the bulk phase.......
Explanation:
Metals are (i) malleable, capable of being hammered into a sheet; and (ii) ductile, capable of being drawn into a wire........
These properties are attributed to metallic bonding, in which every metal atom contributes 1 or more valence electrons to the metallic lattice, to give an extended structure held together by STRONG electrostatic forces;
