Question 2 • Chemistry

Which property is true for metals?

Answer
A
low ionization energies
B
localized electrons
C
high electronegativity
D
tightly held valence electrons

Explanation

Metals typically have low ionization energies, so they can lose valence electrons relatively easily and form positive ions. Their valence electrons are generally delocalized rather than localized, and they are not tightly held. High electronegativity is more characteristic of nonmetals.
