Open in App
Solution
The correct option is D Sonorousness
Electron sea model of metal explains that all the metal atoms in a metallic solid contributes their valence electrons which float to form a sea of electrons around the metal kernel.
The electrons present in the outer energy levels of the metallic bonding are non - directional and are free to move from one kernel to another.
Due to presence of free electrons metals are good conductors of electricity and heat.
Kernels in metallic bonds alter their position when pressure is applied due to which they are malleable in nature.
