Which of the following is a characteristic of metallic bonding?
Correct Answer: Electrons are delocalized and can move freely.
- Step 1: Understand what metallic bonding is. It occurs between metal atoms.
- Step 2: Know that in metallic bonding, electrons are not fixed to one atom. They can move around freely.
- Step 3: Realize that this movement of electrons allows metals to conduct electricity well.
- Step 4: Recognize that the free-moving electrons also make metals malleable, meaning they can be shaped without breaking.
