Atoms of iron (fe) form metallic bonds with other iron atoms. how are the valence electrons of these atoms rearranged to form the bonds? a) a few valence electrons are shared between the atoms. b) many valence electrons are shared between the atoms. c) electrons are transferred from the iron atoms to atoms in the air. d) electrons are transferred to the iron atoms from atoms in the air

The correct answer is option B.

Explanation:

Metallic bonding is the type of chemical bonding occurs between the atoms of a metals.In this type of bonding arises due to electrostatic interaction between the electron cloud of  de-localized electrons with positively charges metal ions.

These de-localized electrons are the valence electrons of metal atoms which are shared between them.

Hence,the correct answer from the given options is option B.

B) many valence electrons are shared between the atoms.

Explanation:

Chemical bonds can be broadly classified into 3 categories:

1) Ionic bond

2) Covalent Bond

3) Metallic bond

Metallic bonds are formed due to the attraction between the mobile valence electrons of the metal atom and its positively charged nucleus. In a piece of iron, the metallic bonds between Fe atoms will extend over the entire molecular structure due to the delocalization of the valence electrons.

the correct answer is answer a. a mixture

no other options make sense

hope this

have a great day : )

in cartography, a contour line (often just called a "contour") joins points of equal elevation (height) above a given level, such as mean sea level. a contour map is a map illustrated with contour lines, for example a topographic map, which thus shows valleys and hills, and the steepness or gentleness of slopes.
