Lesson Summary. The metallic bond is a unique type of chemical bond found in metal elements. In a sample of metal, the valence electrons detach from the atoms and are free to move throughout the metal. This results in a sea of electrons, or big pool of delocalized or valence electrons.
Metallic bonds. Metallic bonds fall into two categories. The first is the case in which the valence electrons are from the sp-shells of the metal ions; this bonding is quite weak. In the second category the valence electrons are from partially filled d-shells, and this bonding is quite strong.
