In a metallic crystal:
Show Hint
- the valence electrons constitute a sea of mobile electrons
- the valence electrons are localised in between the kernels
- the valence electrons remain within the field of influence of their own kernels
- None of the above
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Metallic bonding is best described by the "Electron Sea Model".
Step 2: Analysis
In this model, a lattice of positive ions (kernels) is immersed in a "sea" of mobile valence electrons.
Step 3: Conclusion
These electrons move freely throughout the metallic crystal boundaries.
Final Answer: (A)

Helicopters are very different from airplanes. They can do three things that airplanes cannot do. First, when airplanes move upward, they must also move forward, but helicopters can move straight up without moving ahead. Second, helicopters can fly backward, which airplanes cannot do. Third, helicopters can use their rotors to hover in the air, which is impossible for airplanes. Helicopters can perform actions that airplanes cannot, they are used for different tasks. Since, helicopters can take off without moving forward, they do not need a runway for take off. They are used in congested areas where there is no room for airplanes or in isolated areas, which do not have airports. Because they can hover, they are used on firefighting missions to drop water on fires. They are used in logging operations to lift trees out of forests. Helicopters are used as air ambulances to airlift patients out of situations, which are difficult to reach by conventional ambulances. The police used helicopters to follow suspects on the ground or to search for cars on the ground. Of course, helicopters have military uses because of their design and capabilities.
