Explanation:
A chemical bond which is formed in between positively charged atoms when there is sharing of free electrons in a lattice of cations is known as a metallic bond.
In a pure metal, atoms are surrounded by free moving valence electrons which move from one part of metal to another.
Thus, we can conclude that pure metals are held together by metallic bonds due to attraction between mobile valence electrons and positively charged metal ions.
Answer:
Polarizing power refers to an atoms ability to pull an electron toward it, polarizing the atom the electron comes from. Since cations are positive, they are able to attract electrons toward themselves. Anions are negative and so do not attract more electrons.
Therefore, Be2+ has a higher polarizing power because it has a higher quantitiy of protons, hence a higher polarizing power.
