• Freely

• In one direction

What kind of attraction is a metallic bond?

• Magnetic

• Electrostatic

• Gravitational

• Nuclear

What is formed by the attraction between free-moving electrons and metal cations?

• Ionic bond

• Covalent bond

• Hydrogen bond

• Metallic bond

What is the model used to describe metallic bonding?
