Delocalisation is when electrons are not associated with one atom but are spread over several atoms.
So the electrons are not directly bonded with any atoms but effectively 'float' above and below the molecule in electron clouds.

∙ 15y agowhen two metal elements bond together, this is called metallic bonding. when this happens, the metal atoms lose their outer electrons and become metal cations. these electrons are called delocalised electrons, which then form a sea of electrons that flow around the metal cations.

∙ 11y agoDelocalised means that the electron is in a molecular orbital that covers more than 2 atoms. Examples _
the molecular orbitals, pi bonds, in benzene where the orbitals span the 6 carbon atoms in the benzene ring
delocalised electrons in metals that are in orbitals (grouped together in "bands") that spread throughout the metal.

Why Iron is used in constructing bridges and houses?
Iron is used in such structures because it has a high amount of delocalized electrons. The more delocalized electrons the stronger and harder the metal(visa versa).
What do delocalised valence electrons moving between nuclei do?
Delocalized valence electrons moving between nuclei become detached from their parent atom. The metal is held together by the strong forces of attraction between the delocalized electrons and positive nuclei.
Which electrons are free to move among more than two atoms?
delocalized
Why metals are good conductor of heat and electricity?
This is due to the fact that in metals electrons are delocalized and can move free.
What are the electrons that have high energy levels and are loose in an atom?
conduction band electrons detach themselves from atoms and become delocalized
What does the term free moving electrons mean?
delocalized electrons
Which phrase best describes a metallic bond?
A metallic bond is one where delocalized valence electrons of the metal are attracted to any of the metal cations. The electrons are delocalized meaning they do not stay with any particular nucleus. The bonds are held together by electrostatic interaction between the delocalized electrons and the positive cations.
Does hcooh have delocalized electrons?
No.
What is delocalized?
metallic bonding happens because the electrons are attracted to more than one nucleus and hence more stable.the electrons are said to be delocalized
What are the free electrons in a metal called?
Free electrons in a metal are called delocalized.
What kind of bond is formed by delocalized electrons?
Covalent
Why metal are good electrical conductivity?
Delocalized valence electrons
Why Iron is used in constructing bridges and houses?
Iron is used in such structures because it has a high amount of delocalized electrons. The more delocalized electrons the stronger and harder the metal(visa versa).
What does the term sea of electrons in relation to the electrons in metallic bond?
In metals electrons are delocalized and in a permanent movement, as a gas.
What are the mobile electrons surrounding the positive ions in metallic bonding?
They are just referred to as "delocalized" electrons
What are free electrons or delocalized electrons?
Not sure, but maybe you are referring to "lone pair" of electrons.
What do delocalised valence electrons moving between nuclei do?
Delocalized valence electrons moving between nuclei become detached from their parent atom. The metal is held together by the strong forces of attraction between the delocalized electrons and positive nuclei.
