Questions
Malleability and ductility of metals can be accounted due to
a
The capacity of layers of metal ions to slide over the other
b
The interaction of electrons with metal ions in the other
c
The presence of electrostatic force
d
The crystalline structure in metal
detailed solution
Correct option is A
- In metallic bonds, the valence shell electrons are delocalized and shared between many atoms.
- These delocalized electrons allow the metal atoms to slide past one another without being subjected to strong repulsive forces.
- The malleability and ductility of metals is due to this sliding capacity of the delocalized electrons.
