Yes, metallic bonds conduct electricity. A characteristic of metallic bonds is that a number offree electrons are unbound in the structure. These electrons are available to support current flow. Another way to look at metallic bonds is that the bonds leave a number of electrons at energies up in the conduction band. As these electrons are already in the conduction band, any applied voltage will move them, and they'll support current flow.

Does bromin conduct electricity?
Bromine only conducts electricity when bonded with another metal/element.
When one metal ion shares electrons with other metal ion what is it?
Part of a metallically bonded substance.
How are bonded compounds similar?
Bonded compounds of the same molecule are for most purposes identical. Bonded compounds of different molecules in that they share or trade electrons of their constituant atoms.
What is usually a property of covalently bonded compounds?
Covalent bonded compounds have generally lower melting and boiling points, are not hard, are less conductive etc.
Are Electron cloud models are used to show how electrons in the outer energy level are bonded when elements combine to form compound?
No , they are used to show that the electrons are free to move in the compound and therefore are NOT bonded . If there is a "cloud" of electrons then the electrons are free to move and can therefore conduct electricity.
Can covalent compounds conduct electricity as a liquid?
A compound with only covalent bonds will not conduct electricity as a liquid. However, some salts with covalently bonded ions, such as tetra-methyl ammonium chloride, will conduct electricity when melted.
How is an acid similar to ionic compounds?
Although Acid is covalently bonded they break apart in water like ionic compounds. How ever they do not conduct electricity like ionic compounds
How can polar covalent compounds conduct electricity in their aqueous forms in spite of being covalently bonded?
They can't. There must be an electrolyte mixed in. For example distilled water doesn't conduct electricity and it is a polar covalent compound. However, when you mix in salt, it does conduct electricity.
When elements are bonded with ionic bonds what are their electrical conductivity?
Solid ionic compounds cannot conduct electricity because there are no mobile ions or electrons present in the lattice, The ions cannot move out of the lattice, so the solid cannot conduct electricity, but Ionic compounds conduct electricity when molten or in solution (the ions are released from the lattice structure and are free to move).
Can covalents conduct elec?
Usually no. Molecular covalent bonded compounds do not conduct electricity. When the bonding is covalent and the bonds are sigma bonds the electrons are not free to move. HOWEVER. Take graphite covalently bonded and a relatively poor conductor of electricity- because of its free electrons. There are conductive organic polymers, these have free delocalised electrons.
Does cast iron have metallic bonding?
Yes, cast iron is metallically bonded.
Does bromin conduct electricity?
Bromine only conducts electricity when bonded with another metal/element.
Do ionic bonds conduct electrical?
Ionic bonding is simply a term referring to the attraction between the charged ions in an ionic compound. For a substance to conduct electricity, it must have free electrons or free ions. In a solid ionic compound, the electrons cannot move freely throughout the solid, but instead, they are restricted to their own ions. Also, the ions are fixed in their own positions, and thus, they too cannot move freely. Therefore, ionic compounds in the solid state do not conduct electricity. However, if this ionic compound was dissolved in water or in molten state, the electrons would still be restricted to their own ions. But now, the ions can move freely. This means that ionic compounds CAN conduct electricity when in solution or when molten, but not in the solid state.
Why do metallically bonded compounds have high melting and boiling points?
Metallically bonded compounds have high melting and boiling points due to the strength of their bonds. Metallic bonds are very strong and therefore take a lot of energy to break, which could be heat. This is why lots of heat energy is needed to break down each individual metallic bond
Do ionically bonded materials conduct electricity?
Yes, in either the molten state or in solution
When one metal ion shares electrons with other metal ion what is it?
Part of a metallically bonded substance.
Is bromine a good conductor of heat and electricity?
Bromine is a gas at liquid temperature. It can only conduct electricity when bonded with another metal or element.
