Best Answer

An element is classified as a metal if it consistently gives up one or more electrons when it undergoes chemical reactions. For relatively inert metals (such as platinum) the metallic bond is also definitive; metals form a type of bond with other metals, called a metallic bond, in which they all donate electrons to a common electron cloud, rather than to any specific atom.
