Metal atoms bond together with metallic bonds. The metallic bond has been described as a lattice of positive ions surrounded by a cloud of electrons. This simple picture is close to the truth for the alkali metals, Li, sodium etc in group 1.
The more advanced model based on the above is band theory, developed by physicists and material scientists, where the free electrons are delocalised in many, what chemists would term, orbitals of very similar energy which form bands. These bands are not full and the electrons readily migrate under the influence of an electric field.
Some models have been developed that are essentially MO theory. These predict a very similar view of the structure with delocalised electrons.
If two bromine atoms form a bond with each other, the bond is covalent, not metallic.
The very heart of bonding is the attraction of positive and negative charges. There are three standard types of bonding among metallic and nonmetallicÊatoms. Non metallic atoms that can bond to other non metallic atoms is called covalent bonding. Non metallic atoms that can bond to metallic atoms is called ionic bonding. And lastly, metallic atoms that can bond to other metallic atoms is called metallic bonding.

Alloys form metallic bonds between the metal atoms.
A covalent bond is a bond between two non-metallic elements. This allows sharing of electrons inside the molecule. OR it is a chemical bond characterized by the sharing of pairs of electrons between atoms and other covalent bonds.
A metallic bond is characterized by overlapping atoms.

A metallic bond is a bond between two metals from the same group.
The very heart of bonding is the attraction of positive and negative charges. There are three standard types of bonding among metallic and nonmetallicÊatoms. Non metallic atoms that can bond to other non metallic atoms is called covalent bonding. Non metallic atoms that can bond to metallic atoms is called ionic bonding. And lastly, metallic atoms that can bond to other metallic atoms is called metallic bonding.
Elements form bonds because of the attractions between atoms or ions. There are several types of bonds such as ionic, covalent and metallic bonds.

In sodium metal the atoms are held together by metallic bonds.
Alloys form metallic bonds between the metal atoms.
Metallic bonding.
Metallic bonds bond identical atoms together if they are both metal atoms, but not if they are other identical atoms. For example, the bonds holding two chlorine atoms together to make Cl2 are not metallic bonds.
