Answer:

B. They bond identical atoms together

Step-by-step explanation:

Metallic Bond: This is the bond that exists among the atoms of the metal. This is a type of electrostatic attraction between conduction electrons of metallic atom and their positively charged metal ions.

(figure attached)

Example:

Copper is a metallic element and its atoms consist of metallic bond among their selves.

Options A, B, D are not correct as all states for a kind of ionic bond formation.

Ionic bond:

It form by the complete transfer of electron from one atom to other

It is formed among two atoms of different electronegativities.

Also metals are electro-positive and non -metals are electro-negative so they form ionic bond.

Example is NaCl where sodium is a metal and Chloride is non-metal and they from ionic bond.

Which of the following statements are true about metallic bonds? A. They hold together-example-1
