This is called a metallic bond.
Covalent bond
it must be covalent- a metal and non metal is ionic, 2 non-metals are covalent
An ionic bond is formed by electron transfer between alkali metals and halogens.

Ionic Bond
An ionic bond is formed.
ionic bonding
Most of the time the bond between a metal and a nonmetal is ionic. However, there are some exceptions, such as BeCl2, which is covalent. The difference in electronegativity determines what kind of bond will form. Metals and nonmetals with a difference in electronegativity of >1.6 are considered to have an ionic bond.
An ionic bond is formed by electron transfer between alkali metals and halogens.
hydrogen bound
When gold and platinum bond, it forms a metallic bond. This bond is characterized by the atoms in the metals sharing their electrons in a sea of free-flowing electrons, resulting in strong cohesion between the metal atoms.
