Hahaha E2020 Question huh....? The Answer is Metallic Bond.
It depends on the metal. Sodium is +1, Magnesium is +2, Aluminum is +3 by way of a few examples.
A metallic bond.
The electrons are shared between the atoms. An ionic bond occurs between a metal and a non-metal. The metal donates one or more electrons to the non-metal, causing the metal to have a positive charge. When the non-metal accepts the electrons, it becomes negatively charged, thus resulting in an attraction between the two charged ions, and forming a bond.
Free electrons in a metal are called delocalized.
Of or pertaining to a metal; of the nature of metal; resembling metal; as, a metallic appearance; a metallic alloy., Of, pertaining to, or characterized by, the essential and implied properties of a metal, as contrasted with a nonmetal or metalloid; basic; antacid; positive.
Metals can be thought of as a lattice of metal ions surrounded by electrons. Again the force of attraction is electrostatic. These electrons are delocalised and metals get their conductiity from thir movement under an applied electric field. Positive metal ions in chemical compounds are surrounded by negativelly charged anions. The force between the oppositely charged ions is electrostatic.
The positive and negative charge between the sea of electrons and the positivity charged ions keeps the metal lattice together with a very strong metallic bond.
electrostatic force
Metal ions do not share electrons with one another. Metal ions have a positive charge.

The Force
Free electrons in a metal are called delocalized.
yes. the metal gains positive charge as that loses its neutral state by the loss of electrons
Outer electrons are the electrons that are borrowed or stolen in a reaction. Because a non-metal has a negative oxidation number, it will borrow electrons from a metal to complete its outer shell. Metals have positive oxidation numbers and tend to lose electrons in reactions.
Delocalized valence electrons moving between nuclei become detached from their parent atom. The metal is held together by the strong forces of attraction between the delocalized electrons and positive nuclei.
A metallic bond is one where delocalized valence electrons of the metal are attracted to any of the metal cations. The electrons are delocalized meaning they do not stay with any particular nucleus. The bonds are held together by electrostatic interaction between the delocalized electrons and the positive cations.
covalent bonds: relatively low melting point, bond is not as strong as ionic, form between two nonmetals, valence electrons are shared between the atoms. ionic: relatively high melting point, stronger bond than covalent, form between a metal and nonmetal, valence electrons are transferred from the metal to the nonmetal, leaving the metal with a positive charge and the nonmetal with a negative charge. these charged particles are called ions. positive ion=cation, negative ion=anion.
If electrons are left behind in metal this will increase the voltage difference between a metal electrode and a solution. Also if the solution becomes more positive this will cause an increase.
