No. The reason depends on the metal. If it is a single metal element then there is only one component, and thus nothing to compare it with in a ratio. If it is an alloy then there are multiple components, but not in a definite ratio.
A compound has a definite ratio of components.
Yes, they are a single element in the ratio of 1. Other metallic substances are actually alloys, and the components may be present in a range of ratios.
A simple definition is: a chemical compond has the elemental components in a fixed ratio.
The Law of Definite Composition states that a compound will always have the same proportion of elements by mass. This relates to the empirical formula because the empirical formula gives the simplest whole number ratio of the elements in a compound, which reflects the fixed composition of elements as per the Law of Definite Composition.

covalent bonds a bond (any type of bond, but JUST the word bond!)
By the law of definite proportions.
It could certainly be described as a simple ratio of positive integers.
A compound.
Solder is a metal alloy that melts at a lower temperature than the metal components being joined. When heated, the solder flows between the metal components, creating a bond as it solidifies. This creates a strong and permanent connection between the two metal components.
