Answer:
When an atom loses electron(s) it will lose some of its negative charge and so becomes positively charged. A positive ion is formed where an atom has more protons than electrons. In the opposite case when an atom gains electron(s) it becomes negatively charged (more electrons than protons).

Explanation:
Metallic bonds involve attraction between electrons and positively charged metal ions. The metals are ionized and electrons form a sea of valence electrons. These loosely bound electrons surround the nuclei of the metals.
The presence of this sea of electrons explains the fact that metals conduct electricity and heat due to the free valence electrons.
Due to the nature of the bonding between metal atoms,metals are malleable and ductile.
Due to the strong electrostatic interaction between metal ions and electrons, the metallic bond is very strong and is very difficult to break thereby accounting for the greater strength of metals as the size of the metallic ion decreases.
