Metallic conduction involves the relatively free movement of their _ throughout the metallic lattice.
Correct answer: C. Electrons
- A. Atoms
- B. Molecules
- C. Electrons
- D. Ions
Explanation
A is incorrect In metals atoms are not in combined form they are in electron pool type arrangementB is incorrect In metals molecules do not existC is correct since In metals electrons are in pool type arrangement and the can move within metal so the play their role in conductionD is incorrect because In metals ions are not present

About Electrical Properties of Solids
Electrical properties of solids depend on their band structure, charge carriers and conductivity. The topic compares conductors, insulators and semiconductors, relates resistivity to temperature, and covers intrinsic and extrinsic semiconductors, donor and acceptor impurities, electron and hole conduction, and the formation of p-type and n-type materials.
