Ions of opposite charges are involved in ionic bonding where the metal atoms form metallic bonds.
between metals
Any non-metallic atom can share electrons with another non-metallic atom, through covalent bonding. Metallic bonding is between metals. Covalent bonding is between non-metals. Ionic bonding is typically between a metal and a non-metal.
yes
The bonding in transition metals involves both a "covalent" contribution and a metallic "cloud of electrons bond. Alkali metals just have the cloud of electrons to hold them together- hence softer and lower melting.
Metallic bonding of course!
Types of bonding: ionic (in salts), covalent (in organic compounds), metallic (in metals).
between metals
Metallic bonding occurs within solid pieces of copper and between individual atoms of copper in such objects.
Any non-metallic atom can share electrons with another non-metallic atom, through covalent bonding. Metallic bonding is between metals. Covalent bonding is between non-metals. Ionic bonding is typically between a metal and a non-metal.

Metallic bonding of course!
Metallic bonding is the attraction between positively charged metal ions and free (negatively charged) electrons.
In bulk samples of copper metallic bonding.
atomic bonding: A bond between two or more atoms, fixing them together to form molecules, crystals, etc. There are three basic types of primary atomic bonding, ionic, covalent, metallic.
electrons are free to move among many atoms
If you mean ionic, covelant or metallic: Metallic bonding is between 2 metal atoms. Ionic bonding is betwen non metal and metal atoms. Covelant bonding is between 2 non-metals.
