Best Answer

A metallic bond is one where delocalized valence electrons of the metal are attracted to any of the metal cations. The electrons are delocalized meaning they do not stay with any particular nucleus. The bonds are held together by electrostatic interaction between the delocalized electrons and the positive cations.
