Ionic bonds are formed when a Cation (loss of some # of e- makes it positive) and and Anion (gain of e- makes it negative) transfer electrons to/from each other in order to form a more stable compound. They will gain/lose e- in order to have full valence shells.

Metallic bonding is different because there is an "Electron Sea" where electrons can float from one atom to another, thus allowing metals to conduct electricity.

The difference is when covalent bonds join from one atom to another. The metallic bonds come from negatively charged particle ions and finally the ionic bonds come from positively charged ions to make three different bonds. I really hope this helps anybody out there eking for answers, this is a very long email and i know you don't have time to ad it so here we go. my friend she is so annoying she thinks i am and i so no i don't she wants to be friends but we haven't for three days and she is maltreat wanting to come back to me. i said that's not happening so we split up and went out separate ways and will never see each other again.

In metals the contituent particles are metals atoms , the intermolecular forces between these molecules are called metallic bonds.

In these types of solids, the constituents particles are atoms of same or different elements

bonded together by covalent bonds making a network solids. The interparticle forces oparting in these solids are covalent bonds

A METALLIC BOND is a bond that holds atoms together in a metallic substance.

An IONIC BOND is an attractive force that holds ions together.

Bonds that exist between non-metals on the Periodic Table are called COVALENT BONDS. A covalent bond is created when two atoms bond by sharing a pair of electrons.

ionic bonds are where a metal and non-metal transfer an/ some electrons from one element to an other making one positive and one negative. a metallic bond is the bond between two metal elements.

Covalent is when electrons are shared. Ionic is when the negative ion gives an electron to the positive ion.

ionic bond is only formed between two species when there is large electronegative difference between them
