Question

what bonding is similar to ionic bonding, except there are no high-electronegativity atosms present to accept any electrons that the present atoms are willing to donate.

Answer 1

Answer:

Metallic bonding

Explanation:

Ionic bonding involves the transfer of electrons from a highly electropositive metal to a highly electronegative nonmetal.

The metallic bond is somewhat similar to the ionic bond since there are also charged positive metal ions. The only difference is that there isn't any electronegative element that accepts the electrons.

In a metallic bond, the positively charged metal ions are bound together by a sea of mobile electrons. The attractive force between the metal ions and the mobile electrons hold the metallic crystal lattice together.
