Question

what type of elements are present in a metallic bond?
only metallic elements
both metal and non - metal elements
only non - metal elements

Explanation:

Metallic bonds occur between metal atoms. In a metallic bond, metal atoms release their valence electrons, which form a "sea of electrons" around the positively - charged metal ions. Non - metal elements do not participate in metallic bonds. Non - metals form covalent bonds (between non - metals) or ionic bonds (with metals in some cases).

Answer:

only metallic elements
