Metallic Bonds

We've learned about ionic and covalent bonds, so we understand the interactions that will occur between a metal and a nonmetal, or between two nonmetals. But what about two metals? Metallic bonding! This ends up being sort of like ionic bonds and sort of like covalent bonds. These will be very important to understand if we want to discuss the behavior of metals, so let's get a closer look at these now.
