Metals can be thought of as a lattice of metal ions surrounded by electrons. Again the force of attraction is electrostatic. These electrons are delocalised and metals get their conductiity from thir movement under an applied electric field.
Positive metal ions in chemical compounds are surrounded by negativelly charged anions. The force between the oppositely charged ions is electrostatic.

What keeps electrons confined in the space surrounding the nucleus?
attraction to the positively charged nucleus
How is an ionic bond held together?
It is held together by electrostatic attraction between the ions in the compound. In the bond, there is a complete transfer of electrons between the atoms, so this makes the cation lose electrons and the anion gain electrons. The cation becomes positive and the anion becomes negative, and therefore there is a large attraction between the atoms.
What energy relations exists within the atom as electrons revolve about the positive nucleus?
there is a force of attraction between the positive nucleus and each negative electrons, and this force is counterbalanced by one that is determined by the orbital motion of the electron.
Is an attraction between atoms so electrons are shared a physical bond?
is an attraction between atoms so electrons are shared in a physical bond
Is the attraction between a positive ion and a negative ion in a covalent bond true or false?
False. A covalent bond is formed by the sharing of valence electrons.
What is matalic bond?
an attraction between a + metal ion and the electrons surrounding it.
What keeps electrons confined in the space surrounding the nucleus?
attraction to the positively charged nucleus
What is the force of attraction between a positive charged metal ion and the electrons in a metal?
electrostatic force
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.
Which type of bond forms an electron?
The attraction between positive ions and surronding mobile electrons forms which type of bond?
What do delocalised valence electrons moving between nuclei do?
Delocalized valence electrons moving between nuclei become detached from their parent atom. The metal is held together by the strong forces of attraction between the delocalized electrons and positive nuclei.

What do ionic bonding do?
the transfer of electrons from one atom to another, forming positive and negative ions, which form an electromagnetic attraction between them.
What is hold ions together?
In ionic bonding, an attraction is formed between a cation (which easily gives up an electron to be positive) and an anion (which easily accepts an electron to be negatively charged). An electrostatic coulomb attraction force is then felt between the two ions, holding them together (positive and negative charges attract). It should be noted that no protons are exchanged in the formation of an ion. The cation has an overall positive charge because the removal of electrons has exposed the positive charge of the nucleus. Anions seek greater stability through gaining electrons, completing the nearly-filled valence shell. Therefore, the coulomb attraction is actually between unscreened protons from the cation and the overcompensating electron cloud surrounding the anion.

What is the comparison between the possession of electrons in ionic and covalent bonds?
In an ionic bond, one atom loses electrons( becomes more positive) and the other gains the electrons ( becomes more negative) what keeps them bonded is the now positive/negative attraction. In covalent bonding, both atoms share the electrons, but are again held together by positive/negative attraction. Short version: In ionic bond, one element in an ionic bond loses electrons, while the other gains electrons. Electrons are shared equally in covalent bonds.
