Metallic bonding occurs between copper atoms. Only copper is a metal and has the characteristics needed for metallic bonding.
Metallic bonding occurs between atoms with low electronegativities (low tendency to attract electrons from other atoms) and low ionisation energies (little energy required to remove electrons from the atoms). The low tendency for the metallic atoms to keep their electrons allow their electrons to be shared between the atoms, which thus become cations. The cations tend to be very closely-packed; they are not repulsed by their similar positive charges, but attracted to the electrons flowing freely between the cations.
Metallic bonding therefore occurs between copper atoms, which have low electronegativity and ionisation energy. Chlorine atoms have some of the highest electronegativity and ionisation energy of all elements, and thus do not exhibit metallic bonding.

What is the difference between copper and chlorine?
copper is a red solid. Chlorine is a greenish gas.
Why molten copper chloride conduct electricity?
As copper and chlorine are bonded by ionic bonding , they are placed in a crystal lattice and there is no free moving ions to conduct electricity at the solid state. In molten state, the ions are free to move about.
Copper plus chlorine?
copper chloride
What do copper and chlorine make?
Copper chloride
What is the equation when copper is heated with chlorine gas to produce solid copperIchloride?
Copper (Cu) + Chlorine (Cl) -> Copper (I) Chloride (CuCl)
Does metallic bonding occur between copper?
Metallic bonding occurs within solid pieces of copper and between individual atoms of copper in such objects.
What bonds hold copper together?
Metallic bonding is found in gold or copper
What type of bond is between Cu and Cu?
In bulk samples of copper metallic bonding.
Does copper have a covalent or metallic bond?
it has metallic bonding
What is the bonding structure of Sodium?
Metallic Bonding is the bonding between atoms within metals. The attraction between positive metal ions and free moving electrons is known as the metallic bond. It occurs in metal elements; e.g. iron, copper and sodium
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."
Is copper and chlorine most likely to form a metallic bond yes or no?
No.
What is an example of an example of metallic bonds?
all metals are metallic bonding. use any one of them all metals are metallic bonding. use any one of them
What is the difference between copper and chlorine?
copper is a red solid. Chlorine is a greenish gas.
What is the ionic charge of solid copper metal?
Copper metal is not ionic. (The metallic bonding model of ions in a sea of electrons, is just a simplifification)
Give an example of metallic bonding?
Metallic bonds are formed in elemnts that have a metallic form . For example sodium magnesium, iron, nickel , aluminium, copper, silver, gold etc etc.
Is copper white a conductor or insulator?
Copper is a metal, so it has metallic bonding. This means that the electrons are free to move & carry a current. So copper is a good conductor of heat & electricity.
