  Metallic bond - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Metal atoms typically contain a high number of electrons in their valence shell compared to their period or energy level.
Metallic bonding is non-polar, in that there is no (for pure elemental metals) or very little (for alloys) electronegativity difference among the atoms participating in the bonding interaction, and the electrons involved in that interaction are delocalized across the crystalline structure of the metal.
Metallic bonding is the electrostatic attraction between the metal atoms or ions and the delocalised electrons.

A chemical bond is the physical phenomenon of chemical species being held together by attraction of atoms to each other through sharing, as well as exchanging, of electrons or photons and is a phenomenon that is fully described by the laws of quantum mechanics.
Coordinate covalent bonding is a special type of bonding, in which the covalent bonding electrons originate solely from one of the atoms, but are approximately equally shared by both in a molecular type bonding orbital.
The Banana bond is a kind of bonding in which the bond bends, often due to the presence of an influencing atom in the middle of another covalent bond.

However, covalent bonding in metals and, particularly between metals and organic compounds is particularly important, especially in industrial catalysis and process chemistry, where many indispensible reactions depend on covalent bonding with metals.
Pure covalent bonds (which has low melting points, are usually non-soluble, non-conductive, and tend to exist as individual molecules), and ionic bonds (which conversely have high melting points, are soluble, conductive, and generally tend to exist in a crystaline form) are on two opposite ends of the figurative spectrum, and have totally different properties.
An example of a double bond is nitrous acid (between N and O), and an example of a triple bond is in hydrogen cyanide (between C and N).

 Bond (chemistry) - ninemsn Encarta
When a bond is formed between atoms, energy is normally given out because the resulting compound is at a lower energy level, and therefore more stable, than the original atoms.
Covalent bonds are formed when atoms share electrons, one from each atom in a single bond, to form electron pairs, usually making their outermost shells up to eight electrons by this means.
Metals typically have few valency electrons, and occur in groups I, II, and III of the periodic table; reactive non-metals typically have more electrons in their outermost shells, and occur in groups IV, V, VI, and VII.

 metallic bond - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about metallic bond   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
In metallic bonding, metal ions are tightly packed with their outer shell electrons overlap, so each electron becomes detached from its parent atom (delocalized).
The metal is held together by the strong forces of attraction between the positive nuclei and the surrounding sea of delocalized electrons.
Metals are both ductile and malleable because the bonding is not broken when metals are deformed; instead, the metal ions slide over each other to new lattice positions.

 metal structures
Metals are giant structures of atoms held together by metallic bonds.
Metals tend to have high melting and boiling points because of the strength of the metallic bond.
The strength of the bond varies from metal to metal and depends on the number of electrons which each atom delocalises into the sea of electrons, and on the packing.

 Chemical Bonding Topic Overview
For example, alkali metal and alkaline earth elements are typically metals whereas oxygen family elements and halogens are typically nonmetals.
In such cases the bonding is called ionic bonding and the stability (lowered potential energy) is due to the mutual attraction between oppositely-charged ions in the solid crystals these compounds form.
The metallic bond is the third and last of the generally-recognized types of chemical bonds.

A chemical bond is the phenomenon of atoms being held together in molecules or crystals.
All chemical bonds are due to electrons interacting simultaneously with the atoms in question.
However, more complicated compounds such as metal complexes cannot be described by valence bond theory alone, and quantum chemistry (based on quantum mechanics) has to be used.

 Metallic Bonding
The nature of metals and metallic atoms is that they have loosely held electrons that can be taken away fairly easily.
The key is in the loosely held electrons spread around and between all the metal atoms, or metal ions.
With a little bit of thought about the position of different metals on the periodic table, how tightly they hold onto their electrons, and also the nature of metallic bonding you should be able to make some predictions about how the properties of different metals would compare to one another.

A bond angle is the angle between the bonds connecting atoms of a molecule.
Since the single lone pair of electrons associated with the nitrogen atom exerts a repulsive force greater than that of the three bonding pairs of electrons in the ammonia molecule, the nitrogen-hydrogen bonds are “pushed downward” and the angle is slightly smaller than in the normal tetrahedral molecule.

The covalent bonding is caused by the mutual electrical attraction between the two positive nuclei of the two atoms of the bond, and the electrons between them.
One single covalent bond is a sharing of 1 pair of electrons, two pairs of shared electrons between the same two atoms gives a double bond and it is possible for two atoms to share 3 pairs of electrons and give a triple bond.
Metals are good conductors of electricity because these 'free' electrons carry the charge of an electric current when a potential difference (voltage!) is applied across a piece of metal.
