    The correct answer among the choices given is the third option. Metal atoms are hold together by the positive charges of the nuclei and the negative charges of delocalized electrons. The result of millions of metal atoms crowding together so that molecular orbitals become combined is the formation of delocalized valence electrons which is the bonds in a metal atom.
