Question

The metallic bond is the attraction between _____.

Answer 1

Answer: a metal cation and the shared electrons that surround it

Explanation:

Metallic bonding is the type of chemical bonding occurs between the atoms of a metals.In this type of bonding arises due to electrostatic interaction between the electron cloud of de-localized electrons with positively charges metal ions.

These de-localized electrons are the valence electrons of metal atoms which are shared between them.

A metal cation and a nonmetal anion are bonded by ionic bonding.

Answer 2

The answer is: a metal cation and the shared electrons that surround it.

Metallic bond is a type of chemical bond.  

Metallic bond is formed between electrons and positively charged metal ions.

Metallic radius is defined as one-half of the distance between the two adjacent metal ions.  

Metallic bond increace electrical and thermal conductivity.  

Metals conduct heat, because when free moving electrons gain energy (heat) they vibrate more quickly and can move around.
