Which statement best describes the effect of low ionization energies and low electronegativities on metallic bonding?
The valence electrons are easily delocalized.
The valence electrons stay in a single orbital.
The valence electrons break free of the crystals.
The valence electrons move closer to the nuclei.

Answer :

The statement that best describes the effect of low ionization energies and low electronegativities on metallic bonding is the first one - the valence electrons are easily delocalized. 
Due to these low energies and negativities, valence electrons can be moved around quite easily and their positions may be altered quite drastically. 

Answer:

the valence electrons are easily delocalized.
