The electrostatic force of attraction that binds metal ions with mobile electrons surrounding within its sphere of influence is called _________.

Open in App

Solution

According to electron sea models, a metal is considered as a no. of positive ions immersed in a sea of mobile electron. hence each electron in a metal belongs to a no. of positive ions and vice- versa.
Metallic bond binds the positively charge metal ions with the mobile electron through strong force of attraction (electrostatic force ).
