When metals are in their elemental form they have what is called metallic bonding. In metallic bonding the valence electrons from the atoms are not associated with a single atom but are shared in a common "electron pool." The electrons are said to be delocalized throughout the metal.

When two atoms combine by transferring electrons it is a(n) bond.?
When two atoms combine by transferring electrons, it is a(n) _____ bond.
Can a covalent bond from when electrons are transferred between 2 atoms?
No, It would be an ionic bond. For Covalent is the sharing of atoms, ionic is transferring.

It is a covalent bond.
When two atoms combine by sharing electrons it is a ionic or covalent bond?
Yes, when electrons are shared, it is said to be a covalent bond.
A bond in which atoms share electrons is called a?
The type of bond in which two atoms share electrons is called a covalent bond.
How can atoms combine with other atoms?
By sharing electrons in covalent bonds or by transferring electrons in ionic bonds
