Metallic bonding — practice question

Which row describes why a solid metal is malleable and conducts electricity?

  • Amalleability: delocalised electrons can move freely through the structure; electrical conductivity: delocalised electrons can move freely through the structure
  • Bmalleability: delocalised electrons can move freely through the structure; electrical conductivity: positive ions can move freely through the structure
  • Cmalleability: rows of positive ions can slide over each other; electrical conductivity: delocalised electrons can move freely through the structure
  • Dmalleability: rows of positive ions can slide over each other; electrical conductivity: positive ions can move freely through the structure
