a magnesium atom has two valence electrons. A chlorine atom needs one electron to fill its highest energy level. Of magnesium reacts to chlorine, which type of bond would mostly form? Explain.

metals are good conductor of electricity. it has free electrons on their surface. according to electron pool theory, each atom present in a metal crystal losses all of its valence electron and as a result a pool of free is form. these pool of electrons are free to move and   conduct electricity easily   while making metal as good conductor.

the correct answer is a. the ability of electrons to flow throughout the metal.

if it's not useful, feel free to report for mistake in answer.
