A)

Valence electrons are unequally distributed, giving some metal ions positive charge and some metal ions negative charge.

B)

Valence electrons are shared among many metal ions.

C)

Valence electrons are localized to each metal atom, giving it a neutral charge.

D)

Valence electrons are shared between neighboring metal atoms to form covalent bonds.
