What types of chemical bonding have bronze?
Bronze being a metal alloy, it would be held by metallic bonding.
Metals are good conductors of electricity. how does metallic bonding make this possible?
Electrons in a metallic bond are delocalised (free to move), thus can pass heat energy through the metal. Electrons also possess greater kinetic energy, and therefore able to transfer energy faster. answered by a Chem student
How do the metallic bonds in a staple allow it to function properly?
The moving electrons maintain the metallic bonds regardless of how the staple is shaped. It will be bent without being broken.
Why metals are opaque and lustrous in nature?
Metals are opaque, because they have metallic bonding which means that all of the atoms are surrounded by free moving electrons. Therefore, any light that passes through a metal will hit one of these electrons which will absorb the light and re-emit it. The light that is re-emitted is known as reflection which is why metals are lustrous.
What allow valence electrons in metals to move throughout the metal?
metal atoms being so close to one another that their outermost level overlap. Cause of the overlapping metallic bonds extend throughout the metal in all direction, so valence electrons can move throughout the metal.
What types of chemical bonding have bronze?
Bronze being a metal alloy, it would be held by metallic bonding.
Does calcium have ionic bonds or covalent bonds?
Neither. Calcium atoms are held together by a third type of strong bonding - metallic bonding. Calcium forms ionic bonds with non-metals only. Metallic bonding involves electrons being free to move around amongst the calcium atoms.
Is Al a metallic bond?
NO. Al is not a metallic bond, Al is an element, the metal Aluminium. Being a metal it does display metallic bonding.
What is the difference between covalent bonds and metallic bonds?
In a covalent bond, the electrons can be defined by the atoms they are shared between; specific atoms are bound to specific others. In metallic bonding, the nuclei "float" in a sea of electrons. the electrons here are shared by the mass as a whole, with no nuclei being bound to any specific other nuclei and no electrons bound to any particular atoms.

What kind of bond is it when their are 4 electrons are being schared?
If electrons are being shared, then it is covalent bonding.
What is the basic of bonding in a sea of electrons?
One description of the bonding in metals is positive ions in a sea of electrons--which was I think the Somerfield model. This may be what is being referred to.
How many electrons are available for bonding in Argon?
Argon is a noble gas and being as its highest energy level is completely filled there are no electrons available for bonding in argon.
What part of the Adam is involved in chemical bonding with other Atoms?
The most important are the valence electrons.The electrons perform the bonding by being shared between the atoms.
Is gold an ionic or covalent or metallic?
No, Gold as a pure element uses 'metalic bonding'. This basically means that, as gold is a metal, it has free electrons. These electrons can leave the nucleus (making it posative) and create a sea of delocalised (free) electrons around the nuclei. The plus charge from the gold nucleus attracts the negative charge of the electrons creatring strong bonds which hold the metal together in a regular layered strucure. The free electrons also give gold (and any metal) specif characteristics, such as being able to conduct heat and electricity very well. Hope this helps, AndrewT789

What part of the atom combines to form a compound?
All bonding between any types of atoms occurs in the electrons. All bonding is the result of electors: moving from one atom to another (ionic), being shared among 2+ atoms (covalent), or moving in a current-like fashion along multiple atoms (metallic).
