Question

in metals, the properties of malleability and ductility are explained by the fact that metallic atoms can roll past metallic bonds and form new bonds. roll over without breaking their bonds. conduct electricity by constantly moving electrons. bounce light off of their sea of electrons.

Answer 1

roll over without breaking their bonds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Metals are malleable and ductile, that means, metals can be beaten into thin sheets and they can be drawn into thin wires.

While showing the property of malleability and ductility, the bonds between metals did not break as there is only change in the shape of metal.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, in metals, the properties of malleability and ductility are explained by the fact that metallic atoms can roll over without breaking their bonds.
