Explanation:
Metals are elements that ionized by loss of electrons.
Ionic and molecular compounds are usually non-metals.
Properties of metals:
- Metals have free mobile electrons and the metallic bonding ensures that.
- They are usually electropositive and freely looses their electrons.
- None of the metal is soluble without a chemical change occurring.
- They are ductile and malleable.
- Metals are good conductor or heat and electricity in their free uncombined state.
- They are lustrous.
B. The specific property of metals accountable for their unusual electrical conductivity is due to the presence of free mobile electrons in their lattices.

Answer:
The lock-and-key model:
c. Enzyme active site has a rigid structure complementary
The induced-fit model:
a. Enzyme conformation changes when it binds the substrate so the active site fits the substrate.
Common to both The lock-and-key model and The induced-fit model:
b. Substrate binds to the enzyme at the active site, forming an enzyme-substrate complex.
d. Substrate binds to the enzyme through non-covalent interactions
Explanation:
Generally, the catalytic power of enzymes are due to transient covalent bonds formed between an enzyme's catalytic functional group and a substrate as well as non-covalent interactions between substrate and enzyme which lowers the activation energy of the reaction. This applies to both the lock-and-key model as well as induced-fit mode of enzyme catalysis.
The lock and key model of enzyme catalysis and specificity proposes that enzymes are structurally complementary to their substrates such that they fit like a lock and key. This complementary nature of the enzyme and its substrates ensures that only a substrate that is complementary to the enzyme's active site can bind to it for catalysis to proceed. this is known as the specificity of an enzyme to a particular substrate.
The induced-fit mode proposes that binding of substrate to the active site of an enzyme induces conformational changes in the enzyme which better positions various functional groups on the enzyme into the proper position to catalyse the reaction.
