Question

Metallic bonding is...
A. The sharing of electrons between two or more elements to create a compound
B. The loss or gain of electrons by elements, creating Ions
C. Delocalized electrons that are free to flow around positively charged metal Ions

Answer 1

Answer:

When electrons are shared between two atoms, they make a bond called a covalent bond.

Answer 2

OPTION (C) IS CORRECT.

(C) DELOCALIZED ELECTRONS THAT ARE FREE TO FLOW AROUND POSITIVELY CHARGED METAL IONS.

Explanation:

• The metallic bonding is defined as the bonding in metals which arise due to the delocalization of electrons and their continuous sharing by the metal atoms.
• The metals can lose electrons, as they are electropositive.
• The metallic bonding is not ionic in nature, as well as not covalent in nature.
• The free electrons are free to move in the metal.
• This type of bonding leads to the basic properties of the metal like malleability and ductility.
• This makes option (C) correct.
