If you look it up it will give you plenty of information. This is what I found:
The valence electrons of metals move freely in this way because metals have relatively low electronegativity, or attraction to electrons. The positive metal ions form a lattice-like structure held together by all the metallic bonds. ... When nonmetals bond together, the atoms share valence electrons and do not become ions

This chemical reaction can also be written as
2C2H6+7O2-->4CO2+6H2O
This is a chemical reaction because reactants are converted into products. This is the combustion of ethane where ethane and oxygen have been converted into carbon dioxide and water
