Metallic bonds

Explanation:

The physical properties of metals such as malleability, ductility, electrical and thermal conductivity, luster e.t.c is controlled by metallic bonds.

  • Metallic bonds join atoms of metals and alloys together.
  • The formation of this bond type is favored by large atomic radius, low ionization energy and a large number of electrons in the valence shell.
  • Metallic bond is actually an attraction between the positive nuclei of all closely packed atoms in the lattice and the electron cloud jointly formed by all atoms losing their outermost shell electrons.

yanalaym [24]

Answer : The correct option is, Malleable, shiny, and able to conduct heat or electricity.

Explanation:

Metals : Metals are the elements which can easily loose electrons and forms cations.

Properties of metals :

  • They are lustrous (shine).
  • They are malleable and ductile (flexible).
  • They conduct heat and electricity.
  • The metallic oxides are basic in nature.
  • They form cations in an aqueous solution.

Non-metals : Non-metals are the elements which can easily gain electrons and form an anion.

Properties of non-metals :

  • They are non-lustrous.
  • They are brittle and hard in nature.
  • They do not conduct heat and electricity.
  • The non-metallic oxides are acidic in nature.
  • They form anions in an aqueous solution.

Hence, from the given options the correct option for metal is, Malleable, shiny, and able to conduct heat or electricity.
