Question

Which type of substances have chemical bonds that are not directional and valence electrons that move freely between the atoms?

a) halogens
b) nonmetals
c) metals
d) salts

Answer 1

c) metals

Step-by-step explanation:

In metallic bonding there are delocalized electrons that are shared by a number of metal cations. The electrons are free to move and are not confined to a single metal cation. These free flowing electrons give metals its specific properties such as ductility, malleability, electrical conductivity and more.

Answer 2

I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is option C. The type of substances that has chemical bonds that are not directional and valence electrons that move freely between the atoms are metals. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
