The high electrical conductivity associated with metallic bonds is found in ________.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Metallic bonds are found in native metals, which are pure metals found in nature. Native metals are characterized by their high electrical conductivity due to the metallic bonding between atoms in the crystal lattice structure. Other minerals may have some degree of electrical conductivity, but not to the extent of native metals. Metal alloys may also have high conductivity, but not all alloys exhibit metallic bonding. Magnetic minerals are not necessarily associated with high electrical conductivity.
