Can a bond be a covalent and ionic bond?

No. A bond cannot be both covalent and ionic. A bond can be covalent, ionic or metallic. In covalent bonding electrons are shared, electrons are transferred in ionic bonding and electrons move about in a sea of electrons in metallic bonds.


A bond formed when atoms share electrons is called?

covalent bond (There is also metallic bonding, which is many, many atoms sharing an electron, not just neighboring electrons.)


What determins the strength of metallic bond?

The number of valence electrons determines the strength of the metallic bond. The more the stronger the bond will be.


What structure does an metallic bond have?

A metallic bond is spread around a lattice of metal atoms. There are free electrons and these are sometimes called a sea of electrons. In chemistry bonding terms you can view metallic bonds as hugley delocalised orbitals, or if you prefer as resonance between many covalent bonds.


Which bond involves metallic ions surrounded by a sea of electrons?

Metallic bonds.

Metallic bonding.


Shared electrons are associated with a covalent bond or metallic bond Which one?

Convalent bond


What is the difference between electrons in a metallic or ionic bond?

In an ionic bond all of the electrons are localised to the ions, none are shared or free to move. In a metallic bond electrons are free and able to move about the lattice in the solid or the melt.


Are metal atoms all joined together by covalent bonds?

Metals form what is known as a metallic bond. It is somewhat similar to a covalent bond in that the electrons are shared, however, in a covalent bond the electrons are shared by a single molecule, and in a metallic bond, the electrons are shared by all the metallic atoms in that particular object.
