elements of group 1 & 2 make +ve ions, because they can easily donate one or two electrons in the outer most shell. they are more electro positive.

Is metallic bonding an attraction of positive and negative ions?
Metallic bonding is the attraction between positively charged metal ions and free (negatively charged) electrons.
Compare metallic and ionic bonding?
Metallic bonding involves the bonding of two metals in the presence of a sea of electrons. These delocalised (or free-floating) electrons are able to flow freely through the metal which means an electrical current can form. Ionic bonding is when a metal and a non-metal transfer electrons between each other (creating two ions - one positive and one negative) until they both have a complete outer shell of electrons (a stable oclet). These ions are attracted to one another (since they are of opposite charge) and bond. There are no delocalised electrons, and the ions cannot move either so a current cannot form in a compound that is ionically bonded.
Is it true that to find the total number of electrons available for bonding in a positive ion you should add the ion charge to the total number of valence electrons of the atoms present?
yes
What electrons are involed in bonding?
The valence electrons are involved in chemical bonding.
Does metallic bonding involve free-floating electrons?
Yes that is how metallic bonding is modeled - a sea of electrons.
How do you compare ionic and covalent bonding?
Covalent bonding involves the sharing of electrons. Ionic bonding involves the transfer of electrons.
What are the similar between ionic and covalent bonding?
Ionic and covalent bonding involve electrons. Ionic bonding involves the loss and gain of electrons, form ions. Covalent bonding involves the sharing of electrons.
What type of bonding involves donation of electrons?
ionic bonding
Bonding that involves sharing of electrons within a molecule is called?
Covalent Bonding
Bonding that involves the exchange or gain loss of electrons is known as?
ionic bonding
What particle of the atom involves the bonding of atoms?
electrons
What type of bonding involves de-localized electrons?
Metallic bonding involves delocalised electrons, which can transfer heat and electricity across the metal. Also, graphite and benzene contains delocalised electrons.
What type of bonding involves the electrostatic attraction between positive copper ions and a sea of valence electrons?
You have described a metallic bond. This is the bond that hold a piece of copper together; or "electrolysis," "electrolytic bonding."
What does covalent bonding involve?
Covalent bonding involves two atoms sharing electrons so that they both have a full outer most shell.
Name two events involving electrons that can result in the formation of chemical bond?
Ionic bonding involves the transfer of electrons between atoms; covalent bonding involves the sharing of electrons between atoms.
What types of bonding involves the unequal sharing of electrons?
Polar covalent bond
What are the mobile electrons surrounding the positive ions in metallic bonding?
They are just referred to as "delocalized" electrons
