The diagram is a representation of the electron sea model which statement best describes what is happening in this model?

A. The electrons are floating to the top of the nuclei of metal atoms.

B. The electrons are sinking down between the nuclei of metal atoms.

C. The electrons are moving easily between the nuclei of metal atoms.

D. The electrons are in fixed positions between the nuclei of metal atoms.

C. The electrons are moving easily between the nuclei of metal atoms.

Explanation:

Electron sea model:-

It assumes that the electron of the metal atoms tends to flow between the nuclei of the metal easily.

It is model which shows the metallic bonding in which the cations of the metal are at the fixed places and the negatively charged electrons move freely within them.

Thus, the correct answer from the given choices is: - C. The electrons are moving easily between the nuclei of metal atoms.
