Question 12 • *26-27 CFISD TX-Chemistry A CR

Which statement describes the electron sea model for metallic bonding?

Answer
A
This model involves electrons held tightly between atoms.
B
This model explains all properties of metals.
C
This model involves electrons moving among bands of orbitals.
D
This model is the simplest model.

Explanation

The electron sea model describes metal atoms as positive ions surrounded by mobile, delocalized electrons. It is a simple way to explain metallic bonding, so the correct choice is “This model is the simplest model.” Electrons moving among bands of orbitals describes the more advanced band model, not the electron sea model.
