Question

Which is not true for metals?

• A. Metals always form covalent compounds
• B. Metals form positive ions
• C. Metals have tendency to lose electrons
• D. Metals have the property of conductivity

Hint:

Metals generally form ionic compounds by losing electrons to form cations.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Metals typically form ionic compounds rather than covalent compounds. They readily lose electrons to form positive ions (cations), and their bonding is usually ionic rather than covalent.
