Hope this helps u

Crown me as brainliest:)

In metals there is a metal bond. The positive metal atoms are located close together in a metal lattice. The negative electrons of the atoms are free to move in the entire lattice. When the paper clip is bent, the rows of atoms shift against each other, creating a charge imbalance. The freely moving electrons then balance it out.
