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