Question

bonds quick check
metallic bonds are responsible for many properties of metals, such as conductivity. why is this possible? (1 point)
an attraction between a positive charge and a negative charge is created.
metals have low electronegativity, so they are conductive because they pass charges easily.
two metals bonded together are going to be more conductive than a metal bonded with a nonmetal.
the bonds can shift because valence electrons are held loosely and move freely.

Explanation:

In metallic bonding, valence electrons are delocalized and can move freely throughout the metal lattice. This allows for the conduction of electricity as the moving electrons can carry an electric current. The loose - held valence electrons enable the bonds to 'shift' in a sense, facilitating conductivity.

Answer:

The bonds can shift because valence electrons are held loosely and move freely.
