Answer to Problem 87A
The metallic bonds are those which are formed with the positive ions that are attracted to the delocalized electrons.
Explanation of Solution
Metallic bonds are formed as a result of overlapping of electronic orbitals. The electrons present in the electronic orbitals are shared between the atoms. The vacant p and d-orbitals in outer energy levels of a metal allows the free movement of electrons. In other words, this sea of electrons (negatively charged) attract positive kernels and is the main reason for conductivity, malleability and the metallic bonding in a metal.
The positive ion (kernels) that flows in the negatively charged sea of electrons is the main reason of metallic bonding.
The metallic bonds are those which are formed with the positive ions that are attracted to the negatively charged delocalized electrons.
