Question

what is formed when the positively charged ions of metals are evenly arranged in an electron sea made up of all the valence electrons, which are free to move around, from the metal atoms? alloy ionic bond covalent bond metallic bond

Explanation:

• An alloy is a mixture of metals or a mixture of a metal and another element.
• An ionic bond is formed by the transfer of electrons from one atom to another (usually between a metal and a non - metal).
• A covalent bond is formed by the sharing of electrons between atoms (usually between non - metals).
• A metallic bond is characterized by positively charged metal ions arranged in a “sea” of delocalized valence electrons (free to move), which matches the description in the question.

Answer:

metallic bond
