Crystals Binding

The metallic bond forms when atoms give up their valence electrons to form a sea of electrons surrounding the atoms. Metallic bonds are non-directional, and strong. The metallic bond also allows metals to be good electrical conductivity, and highly ductile
1.2 The Covalent Bond
A covalent bond happens when two atoms become more stable by sharing their valence electrons. The bonding in diamond takes place in the following manner: each atom has four valence electrons, and it forms four bonds with its four nearest neighbors
