Question

choose three . What are the characteristerses of a metal like element?

(a) they try to get additional electrons

(b) they are melleable.

(c) they are lightly to give away or share electrons.

(d) they are good conductors of electricity

Expert Solution
Step 1

Since the metals are those elements which has a tendency to lose electron to complete there octet

Hence the option a is incorrect as it is saying they have tendency to gain electrons instead of losing

 

 

And also metals are malleable, i.e they have tendency to be hammered and converted into sheets 

Hence option b is correct
