Metallic bonds are responsible for many properties of metals, such as conductivity. Why is this possible?(1 point)

Question

Metals have low electronegativity, so they are conductive because they pass charges easily.
An attraction between a positive charge and a negative charge is created.
The bonds can shift because valence electrons are held loosely and move freely.
Two metals bonded together are going to be more conductive than a metal bonded with a nonmetal.

Answer 1

The correct answer is: The bonds can shift because valence electrons are held loosely and move freely.

In metallic bonds, the valence electrons are not bound to individual atoms but are instead delocalized and can move freely throughout the metal lattice. This "sea of electrons" allows metals to conduct electricity effectively, as the electrons can move in response to an electric field.
