Answer:

metallic bond

Step-by-step explanation:

Metallic bonds are the attraction between a positive metal ion and the electrons surrounding them.

This bond is found in metals and their alloys. They are interatomic forces.

  • In this bond, a positive nuclei joins with all other closely packed atoms in the lattice and the electron cloud formed by losing their outermost shell electrons.
  • Most of the physical properties of metals is due to this bond type.
