Three properties of metals that are caused by metallic bonding are electrical conductivity, malleability, and ductility.
Covalent bonding is typical of organic compounds which do not contain metal. Metals form either metallic or ionic bonds.
between metals
Most of the properties of a metal, including lustre, are due to the metallic bonding of the electrons.
Any non-metallic atom can share electrons with another non-metallic atom, through covalent bonding. Metallic bonding is between metals. Covalent bonding is between non-metals. Ionic bonding is typically between a metal and a non-metal.
The bonding in transition metals involves both a "covalent" contribution and a metallic "cloud of electrons bond. Alkali metals just have the cloud of electrons to hold them together- hence softer and lower melting.
they are shiny, ductile and malleable, which means that they can change shape.
Color, hardness, and texture
Scientists first laid down the basic constitution of a metal. Metals are composed of ions surrounded by electrons. Experimenting on the ion's bonding properties and its attraction to electrons generated the properties of metals.

No, metalloids have properties of metals and nonmetals.

Metals have metallic bonds.

Predominantly transition metals.
