Interpretation:
The reason for delocalization to be an appropriate term for the electrons involved in metallic bonding needs to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Delocalized electrons are not present on a single atom or in a covalent bond. One electron pair is called delocalized if it is free to move from one atom to other in a molecule or compound.
Answer to Problem 119A
In metallic solid electrons are not directly combined with any cations.
Explanation of Solution
Delocalized term is used to explain electrons in metallic solid. Electrons are not directly combined with any cations in metallic solid. Electrons are instead free to move around.
In metallic solid, electrons are instead free to move around.
