Metallic bonds are responsible for many properties of metals, such as conductivity. Why is this possible?(1 point)

Responses

Metals have low electronegativity, so they are conductive because they pass charges easily.

Two metals bonded together are going to be more conductive than a metal bonded with a nonmetal.
