Is metal an atom a molecule or a compound?
A metal is normally viewed as cations in a sea of delocalised electrons. It is the metal atoms which donate their valence electrons to the sea of delocalised electrons.
What kind of substance contains a sea of electrons?
Metals (such as aluminum) are held together by "metallic bonding" which can often be described as a "sea of electrons"
Do compounds have valence electrons?
No. it is the term used to tell the electrons in an atom.
What is the term for valence electrons in a molecule that are not shared?
Non-Bonding Electrons
What is the term for a reaction in which a substrate gains electrons?
gain of electrons = reduction
What does the term sea of electrons in relation to the electrons in metallic bond?
In metals electrons are delocalized and in a permanent movement, as a gas.
What is another term for Long sea journey?
A voyage is another term for long sea journey.
What bands hold metal atoms to one another?
Metallic bonds: think of these as a sea of free-flowing electrons.
What bond has the characteristic of a sea of mobile electrons?
Metallic bonds have the characteristics of a sea of mobile electrons.
What is the scientific term for loss and gain of electrons?
One suitable term is "charge transfer" Another one particular to chemistry is "oxidation-reduction reactios".
What happens to electrons in a redox reaction?
Electrons may be transferred from one particle to another.

What does the term free moving electrons mean?
delocalized electrons
What is the term for the electrons in the outermost shell?
there called valence electrons
What kind of substance contains a sea of electrons?

What is it called when tetonic plates seporate?
It is called a divergent boundary. Another term for it is sea-floor spreading.
Which types of atoms pool their valence electrons to form a sea of electrons?
Metals
