Solution

The correct option is B

False


What did we learn in previous classes? Mettallic bonding is different from covalent bonding. Mettalic bonding describes the electrostatic attractive force that occurs between conduction electrons and positively charged metal ions. It may be described as the sharing of free electrons among a lattice of positively charged ions (cations).

None, from the concept videos, we can see that Half of the distance between two atoms when they are bound together by a single bond in a covalent molecule can be called as "Covalent Radius”.

"Metallic Radius” can be taken as half the internuclear distance separating the metal cores in the metallic crystal.
