Answer:

I can answer with your option here my answer

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. The structure and bonding of metals explains their properties : They are electrical conductors because their delocalised electrons carry electrical charge through the metal. They are good conductors of thermal energy because their delocalised electrons transfer energy.
  2. They have a simpler electron arrangement.
