Metallic bonding
________ occurs when a large number of metal atoms pool their valence electrons into a delocalized electron "sea "that keeps all the atoms in the sample together.

Metal
________ with nonmetal: electron transport and ionic bonding, as seen in the picture below.
New cards
4
massive number of atoms
The ________ in a metal sample pool their valence electrons in a "sea "of electrons that "flows "between and around each metal- ion core (nucleus + inner electrons), attracting and keeping them together.
