Compare the metallic bond strengths in Mg, Ca and Al.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Bond strength is highest in Al, due to the presence of three valence electrons. In Mg and Ca, two valence electrons each are present. But due to large size, bond is weaker in Ca than in Mg. Order of metallic bond strength : `Ca lt Mg lt AI`.
