Meaning of sonorous • capable of giving a deep, resonant sound.• makes a ringing sound when hit.
Electron bondings in metals is highly delocalized ( due to very low Electronegativity).
This means that when hit, the electron clouds move easily - there is very little energy dissipiated.
This allows the incoming kinetic energy to be easily propagated as a form of disequilibrium (wave)
Not all metals have this physical property....
