The chemical bonding which rises from electrostatic attractive force between the conduction electrons and the positively charged metal ions is called metallic bonding.
<u>It is sharing of the free electrons among the structure of the positively charged ions which are known as cations.
</u>
<u>In this type of bonding, these free electrons freely move in the crystal mattice of the metal. </u>
The bonding accounts for properties of metals, such as ductility, strength, electrical and thermal conductivity and resistivity and luster.
A divergent boundary is when the plates move apart from each other. When the plates part, magma from under either plate rises and forms a volcano. A hotspot is the third place a volcano can form. This particular type is the least common.
