Metallic Bonding<br />
• Each atom donates its valence electrons to<br />
the whole<br />
• Atom therefore becomes a cation (here called<br />
an ion core)<br />
• Donated electrons form an electron cloud<br />
surrounding all the ion cores<br />
• Electron cloud binds all the ion cores together<br />
