Question

Which type of bonding is characterized by overlapping orbitals that allow outer electrons of atoms to move about freely throughout the entire lattice? A covalent B multiple C ionic D metallic

Answer 1

Answer:

D metallic

Explanation:

The chemical bonding which rises from electrostatic attractive force between the conduction electrons and the positively charged metal ions is called metallic bonding.

It is sharing of the free electrons among the structure of the positively charged ions which are known as cations.

In this type of bonding, these free electrons freely move in the crystal mattice of the metal.  

The bonding accounts for properties of metals, such as ductility, strength,  electrical and thermal conductivity and resistivity and luster.
