They're somewhat of a covalent bond that occurs only between metals. Each atom of that metals essentialy sheds its electrons off and contributes them to one giant 'sea of electrons' that all the other positive metal cations float in to ensure an equal amount of electron sharing throughout the metal.

What is one different between a metallic bond and a covalent bond?

One key difference is that metallic bonds involve a sharing of electrons among a lattice of metal atoms, leading to a "sea" of delocalized electrons, whereas covalent bonds involve a sharing of electrons between two specific atoms.


How are ionic bonds the same as metalic bonds and covalent bonds?

Ionic bonds, metallic bonds, and covalent bonds are all types of chemical bonds that hold atoms together. They differ in terms of the way electrons are shared or transferred between atoms. Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons from one atom to another, metallic bonds involve a "sea" of delocalized electrons shared between metal atoms, and covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between nonmetal atoms.
