Which type of bonding is characterized by overlapping orbitals that allow outer electrons of atoms to move about freely througho
Sonja [21]

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.

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

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

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