The bonds depicted in the diagram are metallic bonds. The circles representing metal ions with a positive charge surrounded by mobile electrons (the blue balls) is characteristic of metallic bonding, where electrons are delocalized and move freely around the metal cations.
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.
