Select the incorrect option regarding metallic solids
Positive ions are surrounded by sea of free electrons
These electrons are mobile
Covalent bonds are strong and directional
These are highly malleable and ductile
In metallic solids positive ions are surrounded by free elecvtrons, these electrons are mobile. These solids are highly ductile and malleable. Covalent bonds are strong and directional but found in covalent solid not in metallic solid.
Metallic solids -
Metallic bond, i.e., attraction between positively charged metal ion and mobile electron.
- wherein
Ex. iron, copper, zinc, aluminium, sodium
