Examine the model of a metallic bond. What do the smaller circles represent?
o the cations held in place by the attractive forces within the sea of electrons
O the delocalized electrons that are free to move around the positive cations
the distinct and rigid bond between the different metal atoms
the unshared pairs of electrons of the metal atoms involved in the metallic bond

b the delocalized

Explanation:

it could be the right answer

you need to take a look at the periodic system in order to sort these elements into pairs that would most likely exhibit similar chemical properties. first, you need to find elements that are found in the same group (groups are vertical in the periodic system), and then to see whether they have the same valence number. if they meet these criteria, they will have similar properties.

the first pair: ne (neon) and kr (krypton), are noble gases found in group 8

the second pair: li (lithium) and k (potassium), found in group 1

the third pair: s (sulfur) and te (tellurium), found in group 6
