Question

Why do metals conduct electricity?A.Because metals are very electronegativeB.Because the electrons in metals are very attracted to the nuclei of the atomsC.Because lattices get hot easilyD.Because the metal atoms share their valence electrons in a lattice

Answer 1

`D`

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to know the reason why metals conduct electricity

The reason for this is because of the existence of valence electrons in the valence shell of the metals

These electrons otherwise called free electrons can be easily shared with other bodies. These free electrons shared are able to transmit heat and electricity

Thus, the correct answer choice here is D
