Question

what is the nature of a bond between copper and zinc? polar covalent metallic ionic nonpolar covalent

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Copper and zinc are both metals. Metallic bonds occur between metal atoms. In metallic bonding, electrons are delocalized and shared among a lattice of metal ions. Ionic bonds are between a metal and a non - metal (involving electron transfer). Covalent bonds (polar or non - polar) are between non - metals (involving electron sharing). Since copper and zinc are metals, the bond is metallic.

Answer:

Metallic
