Why are metallic bonds in some metals stronger than bonds in other metals?

because some metals have a stronger attraction toward each other, its just a natural occurence. there is no scientific explanation. generally the shinier the metal is, the more likely it will be to attract to another element.

Is it possible for all of the elements to form bonds with each other?
No. The noble gasses will not form bonds with most elements and never bond with metals. Metals form metallic bonds with one another, but this is considered a mixture rather than a new chemical compound.
What are metallic bonds at room temp?
Metallic bond is an electrostatic interaction between the metal ions and a sea of free electrons. Mercury is the only liquid metal, whereas all other metals are solids.
What types of atoms compose each type of compound only metals only nonmetal or both?
For "only metals" the answer is alloys or intermetallic compounds, formed of course from atom of metals - the bonds are of metallic type.All other chemical compounds contain atoms of chemical elements, metals or nonmetals.
A homogeneous mixture of metals with other metals nonmetals or metalloids that has metallic properties?
alloy
What metals bond with other elements using metallic bonding?
Predominantly transition metals.
What is it that metals have that allow them to form their special metallic bonds?
Metal atoms are bonded each other with metallic bonds. A special feature in metallic bonds is the existence of 'pool of electrons'. It is responsible for the conductivity of electricity and heat in metals.
Is titanium a covalent compound?
No. Titanium is an element, not a compound. Like other metals, it is held together by metallic bonds, which are different from covalent and ionic bonds.
What type of bonding is formed between calcium and itself?
All metals form metallic bonds with other metal atoms.
How are metals bonded with other elements?
Typically metals form ionic bonds with non- metals. There are exceptions when the metal ion is small and highly charged when the bond may have more covalent character, (Fajans rules) Metals also form covalent bonds with carbon in organometals such as grignard reagents. Transition metals form covalent bonds with many species, e.g. carbon monoxide in the carbonyls. In alloys which are mixtures of metallic elements the bonding is the metallic bond.

No. The noble gasses will not form bonds with most elements and never bond with metals. Metals form metallic bonds with one another, but this is considered a mixture rather than a new chemical compound.
Why the metallic bond in some metals are stronger thn the bonds in other metals?
For the s block metals (grous 1 and 2) a simple explanation is that the elements with the highest number of valence electrons have the stronger bonds. For the transition metals the situation is more complicated as well as the s electrons, d electrons are involved and these form more localised bonds of a covalent nature. For the other metals the description of the bonding is also complex- just to take one examle, gallium is unusual as it has short distances between pairs of Ga atoms - indicating a degree of covaency- hence the low melting point- in the melt it behaves as typicl metal and so has a high b. pt.
What kinds of bonds can happen between the elements of compound?
Covalent and ionic. (The other major type of bond, metallic, does not occur in compounds but only in elemental metals and in mixtures of metals.)
What are metallic bonds at room temp?
Metallic bond is an electrostatic interaction between the metal ions and a sea of free electrons. Mercury is the only liquid metal, whereas all other metals are solids.
How do non metals form bonds?
Non metals usually form covalent bonds with other non metals and ionic bonds with reactive metals.
What is an element whose atoms can form a covalent bonds with another atom of the same element called?
The answer expected here is non-metal, and examples are carbon, chlorine, sulfur phosphorus. Metals have metallic bonds. However there are compounds where atoms of a metallic element form covalent bonds to other atoms of the same element.
What type of bond is formed when gold bonds with itself?
Metallic bond, metallic positive grains surrounded by the electron cloud
What type of bond does zinc and zinc form?
Zinc, as with all metals, reacts to form ionic bonds with other elements.
