Metal solids are good conductors of electricity because ________
A)they are easily ionized.
B)their valence electrons are not localized.
C)they are easily reduced and oxidized.
D)they can be drawn into wires.
E)they are ductile.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Metal solids have a unique structure where the valence electrons are delocalized and can move freely throughout the structure. This allows for easy transfer of electrons and makes them good conductors of electricity. Choices A, C, D, and E are all properties of metals but do not directly relate to their conductivity.
