Metallic bonding involves the bonding of two metals in the presence of a sea of electrons. These delocalised (or free-floating) electrons are able to flow freely through the metal which means an electrical current can form. Ionic bonding is when a metal and a non-metal transfer electrons between each other (creating two ions - one positive and one negative) until they both have a complete outer shell of electrons (a stable oclet). These ions are attracted to one another (since they are of opposite charge) and bond. There are no delocalised electrons, and the ions cannot move either so a current cannot form in a compound that is ionically bonded.

What are the 2 types of bonding What is the difference between them?
Types of bonding: ionic (in salts), covalent (in organic compounds), metallic (in metals).
What type of bonding has electron moving freely in the electron sea?
Ionic bonds
Is calcium and lithium polar covalent ionic or non covalent?
Calcium and lithium individually are both elements with metallic bonding and not any of polar, covalent, or ionic bonding. They could be described as non covalent.
What bonds hold copper together?
Metallic bonding is found in gold or copper
What types of chemical bonding have bronze?
Bronze being a metal alloy, it would be held by metallic bonding.
Is Fe a covalent ionic or metallic bond?
Elemntal iron is a metal with metallic bonding. In its compounds the bonding can be ionic or covalent.
What is the difference between ionic crystals and metallic bonding?
Ions of opposite charges are involved in ionic bonding where the metal atoms form metallic bonds.
How can you relate a basketball to ionic and covalent bonding?
How can you compare covalent bonding and ionic bonding with soccer
Is aluminium ionic covalent or metalic bonding?
Alumin(i)um coheres by metallic bonding.
Can a bond be a covalent and ionic bond?
No. A bond cannot be both covalent and ionic. A bond can be covalent, ionic or metallic. In covalent bonding electrons are shared, electrons are transferred in ionic bonding and electrons move about in a sea of electrons in metallic bonds.
How do you compare ionic and covalent bonding?
Covalent bonding involves the sharing of electrons. Ionic bonding involves the transfer of electrons.
Is metallic bonding metals or nonmetals?
Covalent bonding is typical of organic compounds which do not contain metal. Metals form either metallic or ionic bonds.
Is iron nail ionic or covalent bond?
Metallic bonding is exhibited in an iron nail.
What is the type of bonding for magnesium chloride?
magnesium chloride is a non- conductor electricity
What kind of bond is formed between metal and metal?
The very heart of bonding is the attraction of positive and negative charges. There are three standard types of bonding among metallic and nonmetallicÊatoms. Non metallic atoms that can bond to other non metallic atoms is called covalent bonding. Non metallic atoms that can bond to metallic atoms is called ionic bonding. And lastly, metallic atoms that can bond to other metallic atoms is called metallic bonding.
How can you determine the type of chemical bond a substance has?
If you mean ionic, covelant or metallic: Metallic bonding is between 2 metal atoms. Ionic bonding is betwen non metal and metal atoms. Covelant bonding is between 2 non-metals.
What are types of bonds?
Basically there are two types of chemical bonding- Ionic bonding and covalent bonding, their sub classes include coordinate covalent bonding , metallic bonding and secondary type of bonding includes Hydrogen bonding , Vander waal's bonding, Dipole-Dipole interaction and London's dispersion effect.
