Answer:

Metallic bonding

Metals have low ionization energies. Therefore, their valence electrons are easily delocalized (attracted to the neighbouring metal atoms). These delocalized electrons are then not associated with a specific metal atom. Since the electrons are “free”, the metal atoms have become cations, and the electrons are free to move throughout the whole crystalline structure.

We say that a metal consists of an array of cations immersed in a sea of electrons. The electrons act as a “glue” holding the cations together.

Metallic bonds are the attractive forces between the metal cations and the sea of electrons.
