Question
- A. Metallic bonding involves the transfer of electrons from non-metals to metals.
- B. Metallic bonding is characterized by shared pairs of electrons.
- C. Metallic bonding involves strong attractions between metal ions and delocalised electrons.
- D. Metallic bonding occurs only in non-metallic elements.
Answer
The correct option is Metallic bonding involves strong attractions between metal ions and delocalised electrons.. This answer is correct because it matches the approved learning objective to recognise metallic giant structures from bonding diagrams in the subtopic Metallic bonding.
Explanation
The correct option is Metallic bonding involves strong attractions between metal ions and delocalised electrons.. Metallic bonding involves strong attractions between metal ions and delocalised electrons. is correct because it directly supports the approved learning objective to recognise metallic giant structures from bonding diagrams. This belongs to the subtopic Metallic bonding within Chemical bonds, ionic, covalent and metallic, so the explanation must stay tied to that curriculum context. The other options are incorrect because they either do not answer this learning objective, use a vague statement, or move away from Metallic bonding.
Common mistake
Misidentifying Metallic Structures
Students often confuse metallic giant structures with simple molecules in bonding diagrams.
Focus on the arrangement of atoms and the presence of delocalised electrons in metallic bonding diagrams to distinguish them from simple molecular structures.
