HI, As we know that e lectron bonding in metals is highly delocalized (due to very low electronegativity). This means that when hit, the electron cloud moves extremely easily - there is very little energy dissipated. This allows the incoming kinetic energy to be easily propagated as a form of disequilibrium (wave).But how due to this wave transfer sound is created ?? how wave transfer is related to snorous property of metals

Hello

Sonorous means

1. capable of giving a deep, resonant sound
2. makes a ringing sound when hit

Electron bonding in metals is highly delocalized (due to very low electronegativity). This means that when hit, the electron cloud moves extremely easily - there is very little energy dissipated. This allows the incoming kinetic energy to be easily propagated as a form of disequilibrium (wave).

P.S :- this is not in all metals - it is in sheet metals, and they have to be of relatively low density. High-density metals will not as easily propagate the kinetic energy, due to additional atomic collisions damping the effect.
