The type of bonds shown in the diagram you described, with metal ions (circles marked with a ‘+’) surrounded by mobile electrons (blue balls), represent metallic bonds. In metallic bonding, electrons are delocalized and can move freely around the metal ions, which is consistent with the depiction of the blue balls moving around and between the circles.
What type of bonds are shown in this diagram?
A diagram shows a number of circles, each marked with a ‘+,’ surrounded by a number of smaller, blue balls. Arrows seem to indicate that the blue balls are moving around and between the circles. A key at the bottom of the illustration shows the circles with the plus signs are metal ions and the blue balls are electrons.
