question: The force of attraction between a positively charged metal ion and the valence electrons it shares with other ions of the metal is called?
distractor3: temporal bond
distractor1: ionic bond
distractor2: metallic yield
correct_answer: metallic bond
support: A metallic bond is the force of attraction between a positively charged metal ion and the valence electrons it shares with other ions of the metal. The electrons move freely around the positive ions, which form a lattice-like structure.
