The metallic bond between gold atoms makes it possible to create extremely thin sheets.

Atoms of the same element or atoms from different elements can form three types of bonds:

Covalent bonds.
Ionic bonds.
Metallic bonds.

In the case of metals such as gold, the most common type of bond is the metallic bond. This bond:

Is a strong bond.
Involves the free movement of electrons between atoms.
Makes metals highly malleable.

These characteristics explain the reason why it is possible to create extremely thin sheets as the material will not easily break due to the strong attraction between the atoms.
