They form a a mutual electric cloud between all of the metallic nuclei.
Metals loss electrons and nonmetals gain electrons.
No, it is not true. When metals loose electrons they become cations.
Nonmetals usually accept electrons to become negative ions (anions), e.g. Cl + e- --> Cl-.
Metals are located on the left side of the periodic table, nonmetals are on the right side, and metalloids are found along the zigzag line that separates metals and nonmetals. Metals tend to lose electrons, nonmetals tend to gain electrons, and metalloids have properties that are intermediate between metals and nonmetals.
There are two types of charges of ions that are the negative and the positive charges. Ionic bonding is between 2 types of elements;the metals and non-metals. Metals loose electrons while non-metals gain electrons. when they form ions they obtain charges. The metals always gain a positive charge as they loose electrons while the non-metals always gain a negative charge as they gain electrons.
Metals have lots of electrons that are fairly free to move between the atoms. Those electrons conduct electricity.
Metals react with non-metals to achieve a stable electron configuration. Metals tend to lose electrons to achieve a full outer shell, while non-metals tend to gain electrons to fill their outer shell. This transfer of electrons between metals and non-metals results in the formation of ionic compounds.
Metals loss electrons and nonmetals gain electrons.
Ionic bonds are formed between "metals" and "non-metals" and involve the transfer of electrons.
Metals give up electrons while non-metals gain electrons
The differences between metal and non-metals are their chemical properties. Metals usually have 1-3 electrons on their outer shells, and non metals have 4-8 electrons in their outer shells.

between metals
Metals lose electrons in a chemical reaction.
No, it is not true. When metals loose electrons they become cations.
Most metals and nonmetals form chemical bonds by transferring electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration with a filled outer shell, usually with 8 electrons. This transfer of electrons leads to the formation of ionic bonds between metals and nonmetals.
In bonds between metals and non- metals thety are transferred rather than shared
