Metals are bonded by metallic bond, that is protons in a sea of electrons which give them their characteristic conductivity. If the electric current flows from one end to the other end using a copper wire to bridge the gap, the extra electron given through the electric current will cause the sea of electrons in the copper to? A. The electrons given will just be deposited in the sea of electrons with nowhere to go B. The electrons given will occupy the space of the electrons that were pushed. C. The electrons given will not flow to the metal because of repulsion. D. The electrons given will travel to the other end through the proton movement.
