Metallic bond
Accepted Answer
A metallic bond is a type of chemical bond that occurs between metal atoms. It is a strong, non-directional bond that results from the attraction between positively charged metal ions and negatively charged valence electrons. The metal ions are held together by a sea of delocalized electrons. Metallic bonds are responsible for the characteristic properties of metals, such as luster, malleability, ductility, and high electrical and thermal conductivity.
