Molecular theory for metals is also called as_.
Correct answer: C. Band theory
- A. None of these
- B. Valence bond theory
- C. Band theory
- D. Electron pool theory
Explanation
According to the molecular orbital theory, the atomic orbitals combine to form molecular orbitals which are spread throughout the metal creating a large number of closely spaced energy states. This form different bands of energy. That is why the molecular theory for metals is also called the band theory.

About Chemical Bonding
Chemical bonding explains molecular shape through VSEPR theory and distinguishes sigma bonds from pi bonds. Questions involve hybridization, bond angles, dipole moment and bond energy, including how electron-pair repulsion determines geometry and how bond polarity differs from the overall polarity of a molecule.
