The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

["covalent", "Van der Waals", "ionic", "hydrogen", "metallic"] bonding is similar to ionic bonding, except their are no high-electronegativity atoms present to accept any electrons that the present atoms are willing to donate.

Answer:

metallic

Step-by-step explanation:

The metallic bond bears a striking similarity to the ionic bonds only that there are no electronegative elements present to accept electrons in a metallic bond as in an ionic bond.

Most metals usually have a few valence electrons which are loosely bound to the outermost shell of the metal atom. Metallic bonds are usually comprised of metal ions bonded together by a sea of mobile electrons

These mobile electrons exert an attractive force on the positive ions and hold them together in the metallic crystal lattice. This force of attraction that holds the metal atoms together in the metallic crystal lattice is known as the metallic bond.
