The electron sea model helps define the property of electrical conductivity in metals. In this model, delocalized electrons are free to move throughout the metallic lattice, allowing metals to conduct electricity efficiently. Additionally, this mobility of electrons contributes to other metallic properties such as malleability and ductility, as the electron sea can accommodate the movement of metal ions without breaking the metallic bond.
