<em>Metallic bonding occurs when cloud of electrons are bonded with positively charged ions.</em>
<em>Option: D</em>
<u>Explanation:</u>
The bonding which occurred when <em>positively charged ions</em> are enclosed by a cloud of electrons is called metallic bonding. It is also known as sharing the electrons with others like cations.
<em>Metallic bonding</em> is one of the chemical bonding that increases electrostatic forces between positively charged <em>ions and delocalized electrons. </em>
Metallic bond is division of electrons between more atoms of metal element. Metallic bonding improves the <em>properties of a material. </em>
