Question

What type of bonding occurs in a sample of pure barium, Ba? In other words, how is one barium atom held to another barium atom?

Answer 1

Answer:metallic bond

Step-by-step explanation:

The metallic bond consists of a layer of valence electrons electrostatically attracted to positive metal ions. Hence in a metal such as barium, electrons bind the metal ions together in the metallic crystal lattice of the element.
