Question

Which of the following does not apply to metallic bond? (A) Overlapping valence orbitals (B) Mobile valence electrons (C) Delocalised electrons (D) Highly directed bonds

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Metallic bond have force of attraction on all sides between the mobile electrons and the positive kernels. Metals having free electrons as a mobile electrons. So, the metallic bond does not have directional property.
