Explanation:

The valence electrons in the metallic bond from the s and the p orbitals of the metal atoms delocalize. This means that the electrons which remain in the atom with their respective nuclei, instead of this they orbit the metal atoms and for a sea of the electrons that surrounds the nuclei of the atoms.

This means when one say that the valence electrons in a metal are delocalized.

It means they are not attached to their "parent" atom, and they are aloud to roam freely to move through the bulk structure.

G(1)=0 g(n) =g(n-1)+n g(2)=

Aliun [14]

G(2)=2

For this, you can plug in 2 everywhere you see an n. So the equation will read:
g(2)=g(2-1)+2 -> g(2)=g(1)+2. Since we are given g(1)=0, we can plug in 0 where we see g(1). The equation is now. g(2)=0+2. So, g(2)=2.
