   Linked via "delocalized valence electrons"

   Metallic Bonding
   Metallic bonding is found in pure elements and alloys, characterized by a lattice of positively charged ion cores immersed in a "sea" of delocalized valence electrons. Unlike ionic or covalent bonds, the electrons are not associated with any specific pair of atoms but move freely throughout the structure. The structural integrity of metals is further stabilized by the Metallic Cohesion Tensor ($\mathbf{C}_{M}$), a $3\times3$ tensor that quantifies the degree to which localized electron density …
