Briefly, metals bond via metallic bonding (unless they are part of other molecules, in which case they bond by other means). The positively charged metal atoms are surrounded by a sea of highly mobile electrons, which are not strongly attached to any one particular atom. This arrangement makes metals thermally and electrically conductive, and also allows them to have high malleability and ductility.

∙ 11y agoThe chemical bond in metals is termed a metallic bond. It can be viewed as lattice of metal atoms in a sea of electrons.

∙ 9y agoMetal atoms bond to one another using non-directional orbitals. They contain orbitals that are act the same as hydrogen orbitals which makes bonding easy.

∙ 13y agoThey are bonded by a sea of free moving electrons hence why metals are generally malleable.

∙ 12y agoBy their force of attraction to eachother, their force of attraction is very high, causing the metal to be very strong in its solid form.

What type of chemic bond is characterized by overlapping atoms?
A metallic bond is characterized by overlapping atoms.
What kind of bond would atoms of the same metal make?
A metallic bond
When metal atoms share their pooled electrons what is formed?
Metallic bonding.
What is a chemical bond formed by atoms losing or gaining electrons?
metallic bond
What happens to the outermost levels of metal atoms in a metallic bond?
They OVERLAP
What type of chemic bond is characterized by overlapping atoms?
A metallic bond is characterized by overlapping atoms.
What kind of bond would atoms of the same metal make?
A metallic bond
Two bromine atoms form a metallic bond?
If two bromine atoms form a bond with each other, the bond is covalent, not metallic.
What kind of bond is formed between metal and metal?
The very heart of bonding is the attraction of positive and negative charges. There are three standard types of bonding among metallic and nonmetallicÊatoms. Non metallic atoms that can bond to other non metallic atoms is called covalent bonding. Non metallic atoms that can bond to metallic atoms is called ionic bonding. And lastly, metallic atoms that can bond to other metallic atoms is called metallic bonding.
What type of bond holds metal atoms together?
Metallic bond
What type of bond is formed when gold bonds with itself?
Metallic bond, metallic positive grains surrounded by the electron cloud
What type of bond holds sodium atoms together?
In sodium metal the atoms are held together by metallic bonds.
When metal atoms share their pooled electrons what is formed?
Metallic bonding.
Do alloys form an ionic bond or a metallic bond?
Alloys form metallic bonds between the metal atoms.
Do metallic bonds bond identical atoms together?
Metallic bonds bond identical atoms together if they are both metal atoms, but not if they are other identical atoms. For example, the bonds holding two chlorine atoms together to make Cl2 are not metallic bonds.
What is a chemical bond formed by atoms losing or gaining electrons?
metallic bond
Is several chlorine atoms atoms likely to form a metallic bond yes or no?
no
