What are similarities between ionic covalent and metallic bonds?
Wiki User
∙ 9y ago
They are certainly not covalent in the sense of having localised 2 electron pair bonds. They have features in common with both ionic and delocalised covalent bonds.
One very simple model describes metals as positive ions in a sea of electrons and while this rationalises the electrical conductivity of metals it does not explain why the metals generally have high melting points.
The force that holds the lattice together is not a simple electrostatic force as in an ideal ionic lattice. In most metals some of the bonding derives from some covalent bonding between metal atoms allied with delocalised bonds occupied by free electrons. These delocalised bonds can be thought of as having superficial resemblance to the delocalised bonds in graphite.

∙ 13y agoWell Covalent is where it dissolves, burns at a low temperature, and Ionic Dissolves and burns at greater temperatues.. So they both dissolve would be a similarity...
Hope This Help Alot...

∙ 12y agometallic bond said very similar to covalent bond because the bond both just attracted to its element.In covalent the attraction is between non metal and in metallic the attraction is between metal

What are chemical bonds that share electrons between atoms?
Covalent (molecular) bonds share electrons, while ionic bonds transfer electrons.
Do metallic bonds have weak forces?
Metallic bonds are not so strong as covalent and ionic bonds.
What kinds of bonds does silver have?
Covalent and ionic
What are the 3 main types of bonds?
There are three major types of chemical bonds: ionic, covalent, and metallic.
Is HNO2 ionic network covalent molecular or metallic?
HNO3 (nitric acid) is ionic.
What is one different between a metallic bond and a covalent bond?
Metalic bonds are in metals. Covalent bonds are in covalent compounds.
What are chemical bonds that share electrons between atoms?
Covalent (molecular) bonds share electrons, while ionic bonds transfer electrons.
Do metallic bonds have weak forces?
Metallic bonds are not so strong as covalent and ionic bonds.
Does carbon form covalent bonds or metallic bonds?
As a nonmetal carbon forms covalent bonds.
What are the different types of chemical bonds?
Ionic bonds, Covalent bonds, Hydrogen bonds, Polar Covalent bonds, Non-Polar Covalent bonds, and Metallic bonds.
Why do covalent bonds not conduct elctricity?
Because covalent bonds are between elements without metallic properties, and in order for a bond to conduct electricity, the bond has to include two metals, AKA a metallic bond.
What bonds do atoms make?
metallic, ionic, and covalent bonds
What kinds of bonds does silver have?
Covalent and ionic
Which substance is not paired with the type of bonding found between the two atoms- CH3-covalent bonds Fe-metallic bonds CaI-ionic bonds Cl2-polar covalent bonds?
The substance not paired correctly isCl2 - polar covalent bonds.
Is a molecule held together by icon bonds of covalent bonds?
they can be held together by ionic, covalent, or metallic bonds
What is the opposite of a covalent bond?
metallic bonds
Can silver atoms form a covalent bond?
Silver does not form covalent bonds. In metallic form, it has a metallic bond, and in compounds, it forms ionic bonds.
