Answer:

Metallic bonding occurs when cloud of electrons are bonded with positively charged ions.

Option: D

Step-by-step explanation:

The bonding which occurred when positively charged ions are enclosed by a cloud of electrons is called metallic bonding. It is also known as sharing the electrons with others like cations.

Metallic bonding is one of the chemical bonding that increases electrostatic forces between positively charged ions and delocalized electrons.

Metallic bond is division of electrons between more atoms of metal element. Metallic bonding improves the properties of a material.
