Question

what type of chemical bond is in copper metal of the copper cooking pan?
covalent bond
metallic bond
ionic bond

Explanation:

• Covalent bond: Forms between non - metals by sharing electrons. Copper is a metal, so this is not correct.
• Metallic bond: Holds metal atoms together. In metals like copper, the valence electrons are delocalized and form a “sea of electrons” that binds the metal cations.
• Ionic bond: Forms between a metal and a non - metal through electron transfer. Since copper is a pure metal (no non - metal involved in bonding within the metal lattice), this is incorrect.

Answer:

metallic bond
