6Giant Structures Metallic BondingMedium1 mark
Which row describes the structure of a solid metal and explains the property?
| structure of solid metal | property of solid metal | |
|---|---|---|
| A | lattice of negative ions in a sea of electrons | conducts electricity because the electrons are free to move |
| B | lattice of negative ions in a sea of electrons | is malleable because the layers of ions can slide over each other |
| C | lattice of positive ions in a sea of electrons | conducts electricity because the ions are free to move |
| D | lattice of positive ions in a sea of electrons | is malleable because the layers of ions can slide over each other |
