Metals are giant structures of atoms held together by metallic bonds. "Giant" implies that large but variable numbers of atoms are involved - depending on the size of the bit of metal. Most metals are close packed - that is, they fit as many atoms as possible into the available volume.
hope this helps :)

What type of bond holds sodium atoms together?
In sodium metal the atoms are held together by metallic bonds.
In the hydrogen chloride molecule the atoms are held together by a what type of bond?
polar covalent bonds
What is the outward expression of the internal arrangement of atoms?
Crystal shape is the outward expression of the internal arrangement of atoms, held together in a specific geometrical arrangement.
Is silver an atom or ion?
Assuming it is just a particle of silver with no other interactions, it would just be an atom. It could, in other cases, be an ion instead, however: an ion is nothing more than an atom or molecule that is charged (either positively by losing an electron or negatively by gaining an extra electron.) If the atom/molecule has an equal number of protons and electrons (as it would generally be considered in an ideal textbook situation, assuming no chemical interactions), the net charge is neutral, so it would not be considered an ion. Bottom line: + charge or - charge is a silver ion, neutral charge is just a plain old silver atom/molecule.
Why is the metallic bond in aluminum stronger than metallic bond in sodium?
because the atoms are larger and cannot be held together as strongly by the mobile electrons.
Sterling silver is a combination of silver and copper. how are the silver and copper atoms held together?
the atoms are held together because they a chemically combined.
Are silver and copper atoms held together?
Yes
In covalent bond the atoms are held together by?
The atoms are held together by the mutual sharing of electrons between two atoms in a covalent bond.
The metal atoms in aron are held together by?
If you think to the metal iron - a metallic bonding exist.
Copper atoms are held together by what kind of bonds?
they are heldtogether by special type of bonds known as metallic bonds, these bonds are hybrid of ionic and covalent bonds.
What is a group of atoms that are held together by the energy of chemical bonds?
Molecule is a group of atoms. They are held by chemical bonds.
The atoms in a solid are held together?
Yes..?
What holds covalently bound atoms together?
Covalently bound atoms are held together by the sharing of electrons between the corresponding atoms.
Atoms are held together with covalent attraction?
Atoms are not held togetherinternally by covalent attraction, but instead by the so-called "strong force" of quantum theory. However, two or more atoms can be held together in molecules by covalent attraction.
How are atoms and a compound held together?
chemical bonds
A group of atoms held together by energy?
Molecule
How are metal atoms held together?
super glue
