Question
in which of the three bonds shown, are the electrons shared loosely?
metallic bonds
james bonds
covalent bonds
ionic bonds
ionic bonds
In metallic bonds, metal atoms release their outer - shell electrons to form a sea of delocalized electrons. These electrons are not tightly held by any one atom and are shared loosely among the metal cations. Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between non - metals in a more fixed way. Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons from a metal to a non - metal, not sharing. James Bond is a fictional character and not a chemical bond type.
