@KeysUpOnTheTable In this case actually the electrons are forced to be delocalized and move towards a dirction through induction. He did state that at the beginning. xD

If the teacher had made any mention of the sea of electrons in metal bonding, this lesson would have been a million times clearer.

This film is useless, as bad as my science classes were 50 years ago, confusing, confused, chaotic, enough to put learners off science for ever. Try looking at things from the point of view of the learner who does not yet understand the topic. The explanations steer around and avoid dozens of questions that any bright student might want to ask. Oh, dear! Science-teaching has not changed.
