Question
Chemistry Question on Chemical bonding and molecular structure
Which of the following does not apply to metallic bond?
A
Overlapping valence orbitals
B
Mobile valence electrons
C
Delocalised electrons
D
Highly directed bonds
Answer
Highly directed bonds
Explanation
Solution
Metallic bond have force of attraction on all sides between the mobile electrons and the positive kernels. Metals having free electrons as a mobile electrons. So, the metallic bond does not have directional property.
