Question

Which property is true for metals?

1. localized electrons
2. high electronegativity
3. low ionization energies
4. tightly held valence electrons

Answer 1

Answer : Option 3) Low ionization energies

Explanation :

The reason why metals have low ionization energy is because the valence electrons experience a weak force of attraction towards the positively charged nucleus.

They are usually in an energy level which is placed far away from the nucleus. This gives metals lower ionization energies. Rest all the statements are not true for metals.
