Options

  1. Aionic bond
  2. Bcovalent bond
  3. Cweak dipole-dipole interactions
  4. Dmetallic bond

Correct answer

D. metallic bond

Step-by-step solution

The attractive interactions between cations and mobile electrons define metallic bonding . In metallic solids, metal atoms lose valence electrons to form cations, while delocalized electrons form a shared "sea" throughout the structure. The electrostatic attraction between these positive metal ions and negative delocalized electrons constitutes the metallic bond, often described as the electron sea model. Other bond types differ significantly: ionic bonding involves complete electron transfer between atoms, covalen
