The electrons that form bonds are called valence electrons. These electrons are in the outer most shell of an atom.
When a cation bonds to decentralized electrons, this bond is called a metallic bond. In metallic bonding, cations are surrounded by a "sea of electrons" that are free to move, allowing for conductivity and malleability in metals. This unique bonding arrangement contributes to the characteristic properties of metallic substances.

It is called a "metallic bond"
That type of bond is called a metallic bond. In metallic bonds, electrons are delocalized and move freely throughout the structure, creating a "sea" of electrons that hold the metal atoms together. This gives metallic substances their unique properties like high electrical and thermal conductivity.
The bond between positive metal ions and delocalized electrons in the metal is called a metallic bond. This bond is responsible for the unique properties of metals, such as conductivity and malleability.
The bond between metals and metals is called a metallic bond. In metallic bonds, electrons are delocalized and move freely between metal atoms, creating a sea of electrons that hold the metal atoms together. This allows metals to conduct heat and electricity well.
covalent bond (There is also metallic bonding, which is many, many atoms sharing an electron, not just neighboring electrons.)
The number of valence electrons determines the strength of the metallic bond. The more the stronger the bond will be.

Metallic bonding.
Metals form what is known as a metallic bond. It is somewhat similar to a covalent bond in that the electrons are shared, however, in a covalent bond the electrons are shared by a single molecule, and in a metallic bond, the electrons are shared by all the metallic atoms in that particular object.
Alloys form a metallic bond. In a metallic bond, atoms within the alloy share electrons freely, creating a "sea of electrons" that allows for electrical conductivity and malleability. Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons between atoms, which is not the case in alloys.
