Question

multiple choice 15 points
what holds metallic bonds together?
the opposite charges attract each atom like a magnet
they share valence electrons, which holds them together
they form anions which hold the atoms together.
free flowing electrons in between the atoms

Explanation:

Metallic bonds are held together by a sea of free - flowing electrons that move between metal atoms. This 'electron sea' model explains the properties of metals such as conductivity and malleability. The other options describe ionic bonds (opposite charges attracting), covalent bonds (sharing valence electrons), and processes related to anion formation which are not characteristic of metallic bonding.

Answer:

Free flowing electrons in between the atoms
