metals and non-metals.
There are two kinds of bonding; ionic and covalent. Ionic bonds form between metals and non-metals. Covalent bonds form between non-metals
mobile electron is responsible for metallic bonding in metals
A metal tends to form an ionic bond with a non-metal. Metals bonding with other metals form a metallic bond, and non-metals bonding with other non-metals form a covalent bond.
metals
Nonmetals usually bond with metals through ionic bonding, where nonmetals gain electrons from metals to form negatively charged ions. This transfer of electrons results in the nonmetal becoming negatively charged and the metal becoming positively charged, leading to an attraction between the two ions. This attraction forms an ionic bond between the nonmetal and the metal.
in pure metals, there is molecular bonding. These bondings are known as metallic bonds.
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.
Bonding among metals is possible through metallic bonding, where metal atoms share their electrons freely throughout a lattice structure. This electron delocalization allows metals to conduct electricity and heat well, as well as exhibit properties like malleability and ductility.
between metals
Metals have metallic bonds.
they have one valence electron (not proton) that is involved in chemical bonding.
